Learn Academies Trust (Learn-AT) is delighted to welcome Scalford Church of England Primary School today. The school joins fourteen other primary schools in the Trust, a mixture of Church of England and community primary schools who work closely together to share expertise and support each other. 

Senior leaders from the school have been working closely with the Trust over the last few months to make the transition as smooth as possible. Melanie Wrightam, Scalford’s Headteacher, said, “Scalford School's vision is 'always doing our best so that we can shine' and we are thrilled as a small school with strong church and community links to be joining Learn Academies Trust whose vision and values align perfectly with our own. We are looking forward to being part of a learning community focused on supporting and getting the best out of staff and pupils alike, so that we can all shine.  The staff are already taking advantage of the wealth of expertise amongst our new colleagues and building relationships across schools. We look forward to making our good school even better as a result of joining Learn-AT.”

Learn-AT’s Trust Leader Stef Edwards said, “We are all excited to welcome Scalford Church of England Primary School into the Learn-AT family and thrilled that they chose Learn-AT in which to continue their school’s development. Learn-AT is committed to providing exceptional education and fostering a professional learning community in which all our pupils flourish and our colleagues thrive. Everyone in Learn-AT is looking forward to working in fellowship with our new Scalford colleagues in the service of children and families.”
