Joining the Trust

Join our family of schools

The Epworth Education Trust was established to be the home for Methodist academies but is underpinned by the Methodist ethos of ‘open hands’. As such, we are an inclusive Trust that welcomes a wide range of schools including Methodist and community schools, primary, secondary and special schools that are both convertor and sponsored academies.

The main purpose of the Trust is to be a place where schools can work collaboratively to be the best they can be. The aim is for all schools in the Trust to be highly successful schools providing the best education for the children in its care and supporting them to aim high.

If you share our vision and aspirations – whether this is already ingrained in the ethos of your school or an aspiration you are striving to achieve – join our Trust to benefit from receiving first-class operational and strategic support on your journey to educational excellence, and become part of a thriving community that understands the power of collaboration and the value of sharing expertise.

We welcome enquiries from schools that may want to explore informal relationships as well as those looking to develop a more formal partnership with our Trust. If you would like to get further information on ‘experiencing our offer’ and how this may benefit your school please do get in touch.

You can register your interest in joining our Trust by e-mailing Julie-Ann Hewitt: CEO@epwortheducationtrust.org.uk 

Please include the name and address of your school, details of the current Headteacher/Principal, an e-mail address and your contact number.

Our booklets also give you more information.
