We're celebrating our 12th birthday today! 🎉 12 years ago, King Ecgbert School founded our trust, partnering with Nether Edge Primary School & TotleyPrimarySchool. Newfield School & Woodlands Primary School joined soon after. In 2018, we opened Mercia School, and in 2023, welcomed Anns Grove Primary.

This term, we've had the privilege of working again with Sheffield's Poet Laureate, Danaé Wellington, who spent time with our primary children enhancing their oracy and literacy skills. Thank you @Daughterof_Free for supporting our children again! #sheffieldissuper #sheffield

It was great to visit Nether Edge Primary School primary school and hear about the fantastic work they're doing. The children did a wonderful job of taking me around their school to see their artwork and tell me all about the books they are reading. They were brilliant hosts 🌹
