Equinox Welcomes Church Schools

Equinox Learning Trust is thrilled to announce its recent partnership with the Oxford Diocesan Board of Education, a collaboration that paves the way for Church of England schools to join its multi-academy trust. This strategic alliance underscores the Trust’s commitment to providing outstanding educational opportunities and support to a diverse range of schools across the region.

The partnership has already borne fruit, as Equinox Learning Trust was invited to an event hosted in Berkshire yesterday, where it had the privilege to showcase the numerous advantages of joining a multi-academy trust to local Church of England schools. This event was a significant milestone, highlighting the shared values and vision between Equinox Learning Trust and the Oxford Diocesan Board of Education (ODBE) in fostering educational excellence and community spirit.

Mr Francois Walker, CEO of Equinox Learning Trust, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating: "We are delighted to work closely with ODBE to extend our support and resources to Church of England schools. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission to enhance educational outcomes and provide a nurturing environment for all pupils."

The event in Berkshire provided a platform for meaningful discussions and presentations, emphasising how joining Equinox Learning Trust can offer Church of England schools access to enhanced educational resources, robust support systems, and a collaborative network of like-minded institutions. Attendees were given insights into the benefits of being part of a multi-academy trust, including shared expertise, financial stability and innovative educational practices.

Katie Paxton, ODBE Governance and Admissions Adviser, commented: "Partnering with Equinox Learning Trust opens up new opportunities for our schools in Berkshire to thrive within a supportive and dynamic framework. We are excited about the potential this collaboration holds for our school communities."

Equinox Learning Trust continues to prioritise the holistic development of students, ensuring that each school under its umbrella receives the tailored support it needs to flourish. With this new partnership, it looks forward to welcoming Church of England schools and building a stronger, united educational community.
