The All Saints Schools Trust has welcomed three more schools under its wing this September.

Charsfield, Dennington and Occold Primary Schools have joined the Trust - bringing the number of schools under its control to eight.

On Wednesday, September 5, the school is hosting its first conference for staff, governors and trustees.

Melanie Barrow, CEO, said: “We are so please to welcome the three new schools to the trust and felt that holding a conference would be a great way to share our vision and values for the future of the trust.”

The conference will see 140 teachers support staff, governors and trustees come together to focus on school issues. A range of speakers will take part, including Marilyn Brocklehurst from the Norfolk Children’s Book Centre and educational psychologists who will discuss the important issue of children’s mental health.

It takes place at Dunston Hall from 9am to 3.30pm.
