A group of specialist schools and provisions in Devon have officially joined Reach South Academy Trust this month, strengthening the trust’s commitment to inclusive education and support for children and young people with a wide range of needs.
The schools have joined Reach South from Transforming Futures Trust following a period of close collaboration. The move brings together organisations that share a strong commitment to delivering high-quality education and life-changing support for children in Devon.
The Devon schools now part of Reach South are:
- ACE Dover Road in Plymouth
- ACE Schools in Plymouth
- ACE Tiverton
- ACE WRAP Exeter
- ACE WRAP Primary in Plymouth
- Courtlands in Plymouth
- Haven Nurture Provision in Tiverton
- Mount Tamar School in Plymouth
- Prospect Centre in Plymouth
- Seymour House in Plymouth
These provisions play a vital role in supporting pupils with complex needs through specialist, alternative and nurture-based education.
Reach South Academy Trust is a family of schools all based in the South West and is committed to improving outcomes and opportunities for children and young people. The trust’s core values are aspiration, resilience, excellence and integrity. Social mobility and social justice drive the trust and they equip our leaders to make sure their schools are at the centre of their communities and provide pathways to success for each pupil.
The trust is looking forward to working closely with staff, pupils and families across the newly joined schools as they begin the next chapter as part of the Reach South community.
Tom Leverage, CEO of Reach South Academy Trust, said:
“We are delighted to welcome these schools into Reach South. Each of them provides incredibly important support for children and young people, and we are proud they are now part of our trust.
“Our shared commitment to inclusive, high-quality education means we can build on the excellent work already taking place in these settings. By working together, we can continue to strengthen the support we provide for pupils, families and communities across Devon.”
