MAT Transfer Information

Please see below a copy of the letter issued to all parents and carers on 28 February outlining the trust board’s proposal to transfer The Redstart Learning Partnership schools to Cabot Learning Federation (CLF) and the Academies for Character and Excellence (ACE) on a target date of 01 January 2024. Redstart, Castle, Priorswood and Minerva will transfer to Cabot Learning Federation (CLF) and Ashill, Winsham, Hatch Beauchamp, Buckland St Mary, Holy Trinity and Stockland will transfer to ACE (Academies for Character and Excellence). Both ACE and CLF are trusts who share our vision and values and have the capacity to deliver the aspirations and benefits we all seek for our children, staff and communities. More information about the two trusts can be found via their websites: Ace | Academies For Character And Excellence | England (acexcellence.co.uk) Cabot Learning Federation - Multi Academy Trust - UK (clf.uk)

The trust board invites you to participate in the listening exercise designed to gather and consider the views of pupils, parents, staff, trade unions and the wider community. Responses to ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ will be circulated afterwards to help keep everyone informed and updated. You can direct any questions or concerns about this change proposal to Beth Souster, Governance Professional bsouster@redstartpartnership.co.uk
