I have been notified that Neale-Wade Academy will be moving to a new trust, marking the beginning of an important new chapter for the school.
This is an opportunity to build on the strengths that already exist within Neale-Wade and focus on delivering the very best outcomes for pupils.
My priority throughout has always been the students. The young people of March deserve every opportunity to succeed, and this decision provides a fresh opportunity to ensure they receive the high-quality education they deserve.
I want to pay tribute to the hardworking teachers and support staff who have continued to support pupils during a challenging period. Their dedication to students and commitment to the school have been invaluable.
The focus must now be firmly on the future. A new trust brings the opportunity to raise standards, strengthen leadership and build confidence across the school community. It is important that the next trust works closely with parents, staff and pupils to deliver lasting improvements and ensure every child can fulfil their potential.
Neale-Wade is at the heart of our community. March is a growing town with ambitious families and talented young people, and I am confident the school can thrive with the right support and leadership in place.
This decision represents a fresh start and a chance to look forward with optimism. I look forward to working with all those involved to ensure Neale-Wade goes from strength to strength and provides the excellent education that local students deserve.
