Local schools could be split up and moved into new trusts by January, in new plans outlined by the Southerly Point Trust.

An update on the future of the trust was posted on their website this week.

The initial proposal was for all schools to transfer to one merger partner. However, the trust says this has not been possible to achieve and proposes the following:

Schools transferred to Crofty Multi Academy Trust:

Godolphin Primary School

Sithney Community Primary School

Trannack Primary School

Porthleven School

Parc Eglos School

Halwin School

Garras Community Primary School 

Aspire Academy Trust:

Breage Church of England School

Manaccan Primary School

St Keverne Community Primary School

Coverack Primary school

Grade-Ruan CofE Primary School 

Truro and Penwith Academy Trust:

Helston Community College

Mullion School

Mullion Community Primary School

Landewednack Community Primary School 

In a statement, they said:

"It is important to note that any decision made is subject to Advisory Board discussion followed by the approval of the Regional Schools Commissioner. The RSC and her Advisory Board are due to meet to consider this proposal on 4th July 2022.

"In respect of the C of E schools, the approval of Askel Veur will also be required. Should the proposal be approved by the RSC, the incoming trusts listed above will conduct due diligence on the schools. This will take place between each of the Trusts above and their respective proposed schools. This is likely to take place at the start of the Autumn term with a view to completing the process of transfer by January 2023."

Stakeholder engagement meetings are in the process of being arranged and dates are due to be confirmed shortly.
