This term has been a whirlwind with the recruitment of not one, but two Headteachers for our Trust schools! With Graeme Dow's retirement from Anchorsholme Academy and Dayle Harrison bidding adieu to Revoe Learning Academy, we've been hard at work finding the perfect candidates to lead our schools to even greater heights.
