What this means for our school community
Welcome from the Governors
Ultimately, any decision made about the future of our amazing school has to have the children at the very heart of it.
As a school, we are driven by the desire to continuously improve our school in order to provide the very best for the children we have the privilege of working with on a daily basis.
In a time where the challenges facing schools are wide ranging and ever increasing, we feel that looking to be part of a strong school family and, in this instance, Infinity Academies Trust, could really help our school to thrive.
We have been learning more about what being part of Infinity Academies Trust would be like, and already we can see there could be many benefits for our school and our children.
In terms of the day to day running of the school, initially you would notice very little difference. We wouldn't lose our identity, we won't have to change what we teach and our ethos will remain.
The move would also give us further stability and help ensure our sustainability - which in a world of tighter funding and declining birth rates is very important.
Whilst we may be exploring the possibility of entering a new trust, this doesn’t mean we will stop working with schools local to us. Indeed, the collaboration with these schools will continue to form a crucial part of what we do.
Having had the opportunity to form positive relationships with members of the Infinity team in a short space of time, I look forward to the opportunity to potentially develop these further to provide the best possible learning opportunities for our children at Scampton Church of England Primary School.
A family within a family
Infinity Academies Trust currently has 17 schools across Greater Lincolnshire.
We would work closely with the schools within the network, building particularly strong links with those nearest to us - giving us access to real working partnerships.
Our Staff
Our staff are vitally important to us. If we proceed, staff will go through a full consultation process, and their terms and conditions cannot change if we proceed.
We also believe that this move will give staff access to further development opportunities both with training and opportunities to progress.
