Newcastle Academy in October 2015 converted to become an academy within the United Endeavour Trust. Our external Trust Partners include Keele University, Newcastle-under-Lyme College and Stoke City Community Trust, and we are actively looking to expand under the leadership of our Chief Executive Officer and MAT Board.
This close collaboration ensures we can offer staff and students much more than any single school: expanded choices and cross federation courses at Key Stage 4, additional extra-curricular provision and enrichment activities, access to training support and further opportunities and more specialist facilities.
We believe this collaborative approach supports staff in aspiring to our ambitious plans for the future. Students are exposed to wider experiences and staff have stronger networks. Best practice and new initiatives are communicated within the federation, and some of the challenges faced by DfE changes to curriculum and accountability can be addressed through internal systems and mutual working.
