Lipson Co-operative Academy has become the latest school to join the Ted Wragg Trust.
It is the fourth Plymouth school to join the ambitious Trust of schools, which aims to strengthen communities through excellent education.
The Trust has the highest expectations for every child, every day, with social justice at its core.
The addition of Lipson, which believes in valuing young people, putting them first, insisting in the highest quality in everything they do, with an emphasis on achievement as a core purpose will further strengthen the growing Trust and open up opportunities for pupils, staff and the Plymouth area.
Moira Marder, chief executive officer of the Ted Wragg Trust, said:
“I am so incredibly excited to welcome Lipson to our ambitious and inclusive Trust of schools.
“The Trust continues to grow from strength to strength and we have gained real benefits from positively collaborating with our ever-growing network of schools and links to local and national organisations.”
Martin Brook, headteacher at Lipson said:
“Although Lipson will be joining the Ted Wragg Multi Academy Trust from January, we have been working really closely together for the last six months, during which the experience has been extremely positive.
“I can see only good things coming from the partnership and I think the relationship will benefit Lipson and the Trust as a whole.”
Lipson will be the 13th school to join the Ted Wragg Trust which also includes Marine Academy Primary, Marine Academy Plymouth, and All Saints Academy Plymouth.
