Significant events
- “In the previous year the board voted to merge with another trust in the Autumn Term of the 2025-26 year.”
- “From 1/7/2025, with the consent of the DFE, an Interim CEO was appointed to oversee the planned merger, It was agreed that this would be a 20% FTE appointment with a standard NLE (£600 per day) payment being made to the supplying organisatior.”
- “Following the decision of the new CEO to explore other opportunities, OWN trustees reviewed progress towards required growth and determined that they felt the future development and security of the three schools would be better served as part of a larger acaderny trust. After a detailed due diligence process, OWN Trustees determined to merge with a local, medium sized academy trust, Meridian Trust.”
- “As detailed in the plans for future periods section below, the schools transferred into the Meridian Trust on 1 November 2025.”
- “As described in the Trustees' Report, the schools within the Trust transferred into Meridian Trust as of 1 November 2025. Following the transfer this Trust is now dormant and the Trustees will consider applying to Companies House to have the company struck off the Register.”
