Thedwastre Education Trust
On 1 January 2016, the Rattlesden Primary School became an academy.
Together with three local primary schools, we formed our own education trust, Thedwastre Education Trust.
We work closely with the other schools in our Multi Academy Trust. These are:
As small rural schools, we recognise the value in working collaboratively to improve outcomes for all our children.
The trust provides a supportive structure within which we will maintain our individual school identities, whilst offering extended opportunities for all pupils and staff to share best practice and offer challenge between schools.
The Chair of Directors of the Trust is Mr Gary McDonald, who can be contacted through Thurston Primary Academy.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Trust is Mr Phil Mackay, who can be contacted by email at: [email protected]

The Thurston Partnership
The school is also part of The Thurston Partnership, which includes Thurston Community College and primary schools in its catchment area. The purpose of The Thurston Partnership is to provide an improved education for all children and young people in the Thurston area. All schools are committed to working together to improve the attainment, progress and experience of school for all children. All schools in the partnership have agreed that our aims can be achieved by working together and supporting and learning from each other. |
