Homepage announcement
Open Evening 2026
We are opening our doors on Thursday 2 October from 6pm until 8pm, and every family thinking about joining us in September 2027 is very welcome. The evening starts in the main hall with a short welcome from the Principal, and after that you are free to explore the school at your own pace with our student guides leading the way.
Every subject area will be open, with staff and students on hand to talk through the curriculum, show you the work our classes have produced this term, and answer any questions about how teaching is organised across the key stages. The science labs, design technology workshops and the new sixth form study centre are always the busiest, so it is worth heading to those first if they are your priority.
There will also be stands covering admissions, transport, free school meals, our pastoral and wellbeing teams, and the full range of clubs and trips that run through the year. If your child has additional needs, our SENDCo will be available all evening for a quiet conversation away from the main hall, and you are welcome to book a follow up appointment at a time that suits you better.
No booking is needed to attend, but letting us know you are coming helps us plan refreshments and parking. Please use the link below to register, or call the school office if you would prefer to speak to someone. If you cannot make this date, we run smaller tours on weekday mornings through October and November.
Transforming Education Together
Anglian Learning is a successful multi-academy trust in East Anglia. We provide inclusive education and equal opportunities, celebrating our differences and supporting learners of all abilities and backgrounds. Our academies consist of 11 primary, 7 secondary schools and 2 sixth forms, each retaining their unique identity and ethos. We value a culture of supportive, respectful relationships. Our people are empowered to embrace new ideas and think creatively as we Transform Together.
Vacancies
We passionately believe that our most important resource is our people, and if you apply and are successful in your application, we promise to develop and support you in your career, as well as provide a caring, friendly environment in which to work. Our DNA is built around our aspiration for colleagues, utilising the skills and knowledge from across our Trust to help empower and retain our talent.
Research
We believe in making informed decisions based on evidence, values and experience, to be applied, in context, throughout our Trust. Frameworks developed with and for colleagues define expectations and provide guidance and models for our school to apply, drawing upon research from leading educational institutions and resources such as the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), Walkthrus, Nasen and the Great Teaching Toolkit.
Trust Growth
Trustees are committed to further careful, sustainable growth of Anglian Learning. They believe that the impact upon the academies within our Trust demonstrates the benefits and capacity for improvement that comes from being part of a strong organisation of primary and secondary schools working closely together in a distinct geographical area.

ANGLIAN LEARNING'S DNA
Colleagues discuss how our Core Purpose and Core Principles resonate with their everyday work. These are part of our Trust’s DNA, reflecting the evolution of Anglian Learning since its inception in 2016. Our Core Purpose, essentially why we exist as a Trust, is informed by our Core Values and shapes what we do and how we do it, leading to our Core Vision of: Dynamic, empowered learners who thrive and lead in their communities: locally, nationally and globally.
Our Core Principles
Our Core Principles show how our Core Values should manifest in practice. This is how we fulfil our Core Purpose and realise our Core Vision. These are our mutual responsibilities and commitments as fellow members of Anglian Learning.
The Principles must be applied but require a level of contextual interpretation. They must inform our decision-making and shape how we act at the school level, centrally and within our collective communities.
School or Trust? Join Us
We are always pleased to hear from schools and academies that may wish to become part of Anglian Learning and who share our Core Purpose and Core Values.
If you would like to explore being a part of our Trust, not only asking what Anglian Learning can do for you but what you can do for Anglian Learning, then please get in contact.
