We are delighted to welcome five new schools into Pele Trust from 1 April 2025:

Branton Primary School and Nursery

Ellingham CE Primary School

Embleton Vincent Edwards Primary School

Longhoughton CE Primary School

Swansfield Park Primary School

Each of these schools brings its own strengths, character, and sense of community, and we are excited to begin working together more closely as part of the Trust.

“I am pleased to welcome staff, pupils, governors and families from our five new partner schools to Pele Trust. While we are still getting to know each other, I’ve already been impressed by the professionalism and commitment of school leaders through the conversion process. I’m looking forward to the journey ahead and to what we will achieve together in the months and years to come.”

— Kieran McGrane, Chief Executive Officer

At Pele Trust, we believe in genuine collaboration, shared learning and a strong commitment to delivering the best for our young people. We look forward to working with colleagues across all our schools to support continued improvement and celebrate collective success.
