Following a thorough and extensive investigation, Stour Valley Educational Trust (SVET) have been exploring the possibility of joining a like-minded, values driven multi academy trust. We are pleased to announce that their board of trustees have identified Anglian Learning as the multi academy trust they wish to join. The two schools of SVET are Stour Valley Community School (secondary) and Clare Community Primary School. It is important to SVET that both of their schools are in a trust that has the right foundations, values, culture, structures, systems and resources moving forward.

The trust boards of both organisations need to agree to the transfer and this will be dependent on a period of due diligence and engagement with stakeholders, including staff, parents and the wider community of the SVET schools which is now taking place. If both trust boards agree to proceed, the Department for Education Advisory Board will make the final decision about the transfer of SVET into Anglian Learning. This decision is currently expected to be by the end of the Summer term. More detailed legal and human resources work would follow with a transfer expected in early 2025.

Jonathan Culpin, Anglian Learning’s CEO, said: “We are delighted to be working with SVET who share our core vision and values, a commitment to a broad and balanced curriculum providing the best possible educational opportunities for young people and development opportunities for staff. This is potentially an exciting period of growth for Anglian Learning.”

Rachel Kelly, SVET’s CEO said:” We think that Anglian Learning will be a good fit with the community culture and ethos of our two schools in SVET. Both our schools are in a strong position and we will be entering into this process with plenty to offer as well as looking to benefit from being a part of a larger, collaborative group of schools. The resources we will access will mean we can be proactive in addressing school improvement needs and enhancing the school experience of students and staff. Exciting times ahead”.
