🌟 Transforming Futures Trust Moves Closer to Joining Reach South Academy Trust 🌟

We are pleased to share that Transforming Futures Trust has taken the voluntary decision to amalgamate with Reach South Academy Trust, subject to final due diligence and approval by the Department for Education.

This marks a significant step forward in our mission to deliver high-quality, inclusive education. By joining Reach South, we will become part of a wider network of schools committed to supporting children and young people across the Southwest, bringing our expertise in special and alternative provision to a Trust that shares our values.

🗣️Carole Burgoyne MBE, Chair of the Board of Trustees at Transforming Futures Trust, said:

"We are delighted to have chosen Reach South Academy Trust to move forward with in a voluntary merger. Reach’s values are closely aligned to Transforming Futures and both Trusts want to deliver high quality inclusive education to the children and young people in our schools.

We have identified many opportunities for our children and young people to thrive and reach their full potential through this partnership and look forward to our staff being able to share their expertise in Special and Alternative Provision education.

We are excited about this partnership and look forward to seeing the benefits it will deliver." 

🗣️ Sandra Harris, Interim CEO at TFT, said:

“The consolidation of Transforming Futures Trust into Reach South Academy Trust represents an exciting opportunity primarily for the quality of education of the most deserving pupils in the Southwest and their communities. Beyond that, it provides a unique and positive demonstration of how, by working together, the wider system of Special and Alternative Provision education can be improved to best meet the needs of all of our children.”

We are currently engaging with stakeholders and building a strong foundation for collaboration and welcome any views or considerations which can be shared via email to admin@transformingfutures.org.uk
