Lincolnshire east coast schools ready to reopen as new Lincolnshire academies. They will see changes to four of the east coast’s schools as they reopen for a new academic year.
Mablethorpe Primary, Skegness Infant, Skegness Junior and Ingoldmells schools have all reopened as new Lincolnshire academies sponsored by the Greenwood Dale Foundation Trust after the decision was made to convert earlier this year.
Skegness Junior School has reopened as an academy sponsored by the Greenwood Dale Foundation Trust.
What does this mean for the new Lincolnshire academies.
The new Lincolnshire academies will all open in the existing buildings of the predecessor schools under the leadership of the existing headteachers who have become principals of their new academies.
The four new Lincolnshire academies will be overseen by the newly appointed Executive Principal, Emma Hadley, who previously held the role of headteacher at Ingoldmells Primary School. Her role will be to monitor the new academies to ensure the highest quality of operation.
Emma, said: “I am confident that these four academies will make a positive contribution towards raising educational attainment within communities along the east coast.
“I look forward to supporting the senior leadership team within each academy to transform the learning experience for pupils and facilitate the sharing of best practice within the Trust.”
