This marks an important and positive moment for both the John Rankin school community and Maiden Erlegh Trust. John Rankin Schools join the Trust with established leadership, a committed staff body and a strong sense of community, and we are pleased to be working together as part of our wider family of schools.

Maiden Erlegh Trust has a strong record of working in partnership with schools as they join the Trust, providing strategic support, shared expertise and collaboration. This approach is designed to strengthen practice over time and support schools, leaders and staff in focusing on what matters most for children and young people.

As we move forward together, the shared focus will be on ensuring that all children benefit from a high-quality education and a broad and enriching curriculum, guided by values of high aspiration for all, inclusive practice and working together.
