Academisation of Linton Mead

Linton Mead Primary School formally consulted on a proposal for the school to convert to academy status and join Endeavour Partnership Trust.

 The consultation ran from 3pm on Monday 28 September 2026 until 3pm on Friday 6 November 2026 and is now closed.

 Having considered the findings of the statutory consultation undertaken in accordance with Section 5 of the Academies Act 2010, together with the outcomes of due diligence and the educational, strategic, financial and organisational implications, the Governing Body of Linton Mead Primary School resolves to proceed with the voluntary conversion of Linton Mead Primary School to academy status and to join Endeavour Partnership Trust.

The Governing Body considers that this course of action is in the best interests of the school and its pupils and offers significant opportunities to strengthen educational provision, school improvement, inclusion and professional collaboration.

The Chair of Governors and Headteacher will now take forward the necessary application and conversion arrangements with the Department for Education, Endeavour Partnership Trust and other relevant parties.
