We are pleased to announce that the three academies that form The Blyth Quays Trust will be joining with WISE Academies later in 2018. Trustees and members of The Blyth Quays Trust have been reviewing its capacity to rapidly improve standards and to deliver the very best education for the children in its academies. Recognising the strength that can be gained from being part of a larger organisation they proposed to seek a partnership with another trust in the North East.
Working in partnership with the Department for Education, the Trust has undertaken an in-depth scoping exercise to ensure that any partnership that was formed was with a trust whose ethos and vision aligned with those of The Blyth Quays Trust.
Chief Executive Officer of WISE Academies is Zoe Carr, a school leader since 2004 with an outstanding track record of supporting schools to achieve the very best for their students. The Blyth Quays Trust is delighted that the schools within The Blyth Quays Trust will benefit from the expertise and experience of such an outstanding practitioner and school leader. Alongside the ideal match of ethos and vision, the academies currently within The Blyth Quays Trust’s will be able to access additional expertise and resources through WISE Academies’ Teaching School and the other primary academies within WISE that will support and build up the capacity required in Blyth. WISE has immediately increased leadership capacity in Blyth Quays through deploying a highly successful Executive Headteacher who will be supported by a wide team of experts who are skilled at rapid school improvement.
WISE Academies is delighted to be expanding its operation into the Blyth area. WISE demonstrates a proven track record of transforming similar schools with a successful school improvement model, thereby securing a bright future of the three Blyth Quays academies. WISE Academies is built upon firm foundations and is ready and able to provide effective support to the Blyth schools.
