The school will officially become part of the Telford-based Learning Community Trust in March, joining its existing secondary schools Hadley Learning Community, Ercall Wood and Charlton in Wellington, and Burton Borough in Newport.

Members of the Trust’s senior leadership team held a series of information sessions this week at Wrockwardine Wood and Trench Parish Council Centre to give parents chance to hear about their plans, and ask questions.

Trust chief executive Jane Hughes, chief operating officer Paul Jones, and executive director Paul Roberts joined the school’s acting headteacher David Barber to explain what becoming a member of the trust would mean for students, and staff.

They said the primary focus would be built around creating engaged and successful students, ensuring high quality teaching, continuous improvement, and effective leadership and governance.
