Proposal that John Madejski Academy joins the Greenshaw Learning Trust

The Greenshaw Learning Trust is well positioned to provide the support that the school needs as it moves into this next phase of school improvement.

Dr Dan Nicholls, CEO of the White Horse Federation, said: “At The White Horse Federation, our goal has, and always will be, to do what is best for the young people we support, and this decision was made with the school’s students at the forefront of our minds. The Greenshaw Learning Trust shares our values and commitment to providing the very best education for students and has the ability to build on our work to transform John Madejski Academy into an outstanding school.”

Will Smith, CEO of the Greenshaw Learning Trust, said: “We are delighted that John Madejski Academy is interested in becoming part of our growing family of schools. Joining the Greenshaw Learning Trust will enable John Madejski Academy to benefit from and contribute to a network of like-minded schools and receive access to exceptional support services, while preserving its unique identity and role within the local community. We look forward to collaborating with the team at John Madejski Academy and working together to enhance the future opportunities for the young people at the school.”

GLT is a successful multi-academy trust of primary and secondary schools and is well-established locally, being responsible for five schools in Berkshire; Brakenhale School, Park House School, Sandy Lane Primary School, Crown Wood Primary School and Wildmoor Heath School, as well as others across the South West and South East of England. In total, the Trust is made up of thirty-four schools. 

Subject to the necessary agreements being reached between the school, the Greenshaw Learning Trust and the Department for Education, John Madejski Academy is anticipated to join the Greenshaw Learning Trust early in the new year.
