Supporting Achievement Nurturing Development The Trust was formed in June 2019
to enable and develop partnerships working across a group of academies. Academy
Trusts are created by a number of academies working together. Academies are
independent, self-governing schools that are funded directly by the Government
and not via the Local Authority. The Trust now consists of five schools, Willow
Primary Academy, Belmont School, Battledown Centre, Paternoster School and The
Milestone School. Each school will maintain its own unique ethos, culture and
identity that has been established over many years to ensure the needs of pupils
are met. As a partnership we will achieve more together and therefore: Improve
outcomes, opportunities and life chances for children and young people Offer
more / wider support for their families Share and develop staff expertise We
will continue working to grow our Academy Trust to include converting schools
who share our vision and aims and who wish to be part of a new and exciting
Trust that will respect the individual identity of each academy whilst providing
opportunities for sharing good practice and expertise to benefit our children,
young people and families. Martin Hughes, CEO SAND AT
