Following our recent Ofsted inspection in October 2022, we are delighted to announce that we received a 'Good' rating in all areas.

The full report can be viewed here.

The Trust Boards of Everychild Trust and Partners in Learning Academy Trust are currently asking our school communities for their views regarding a proposed merger between the two trusts.

The Senior Leadership Team and trustees of Everychild Trust and Partners in Learning Academy Trust have worked closely together for some time and are excited by the opportunity that further and closer collaboration may have for the educational and pastoral outcomes for our pupils. We believe
that increasing collaboration between the two organisations offers benefits for pupils, parents and staff.

We are keen to hear your views regarding this and will amend our proposals to merge in light of feedback gained from you.

For further information regarding the proposal to merge, please find below.

Which trusts are proposing to merge?

Everychild Trust and Partners in Learning Academy Trust are proposing to merge. This will result in a local trust formed of the following schools:

• Hatchlands Primary School (Surrey)
• Leaps Nursery (Surrey)
• Sandcross School (Surrey)
• Baldwins Hill Primary School (West Sussex)
• Blackwell Primary School (West Sussex)
• Halsford Park Primary School (West Sussex)

Each trust provides a range of support to each school, including providing back-office services (such as cleaning and catering) cost-effectively, supporting staff in developing their teaching and learning, and supporting schools through processes such as recruitment and Ofsted inspections.

How will the schools benefit from the merger?

Changes from the merger will largely be at the central trust level. When considering merger, both Everychild Trust and Partners in Learning Academy Trust Trust Boards have agreed a commitment to:

• Maintaining the distinct identity of each school in the Trust in alignment with the Trust’s Mission, Vision and Values. 
• Excellent support for all students, including those with SEND, and strong pastoral care
• Community focus and engagement
• Professional development for all staff
• A broad and challenging curriculum with wide range of enrichment opportunities
• Excellent academic outcomes in a supportive environment
• Taking advantage of the benefits of being in a family of schools
• High standards of professionalism in all areas
• Best possible use of resources

We are very pleased to confirm that from September 2021 we will taking children born within the following date range:

• 1st September 2017 to 31st August 2018.

In addition to this, we are also welcoming applications for children born between the following:

• 1st September 2018 to 31st March 2019.

We are also delighted to confirm that from September 2021, Leaps Nursey will be relocated to the site of Hatchlands School.  We are extremely grateful to Reigate Park Church for their support in accommodating us for this year.

For more information, please contact Sue Aspinwall on admin@everychildtrust.co.uk

We look forward to welcoming you to Leaps Nursery.

Following the government announcement of a national lockdown on Tuesday 5th January 2021, Leaps Nursery will be offering provision for vulnerable children and the children of key workers.  It is unfortunate that we are only able to accomodate this reduced number of children but we are providing a facility for those most in need.  These smaller group sizes reduce the risk of transmission of the Covid 19 virus and reduced staffing will provide contingency should there be a need for isolating, or in case of illness.

We will be offering online learning experiences and staff will be putting this into place over the next few days.  

This is an extremely difficult time but hopefully we can make the best of the situation and hit the ground running when we all return to Leaps.
