Consultation – Proposed Amalgamation of Wincobank Nursery and Infant Academy and Concord Junior Academy from 1st September 2025

The leadership team at Wincobank Nursery and Infant Academy and Concord Junior Academy, along with the Trust Executive and Board of Trustees at Brigantia Learning Trust are proposing the amalgamation of the two academies to form a single 2-11 primary academy, split across two sites from 1st September 2025.

The details of the proposed amalgamation can be accessed via the following links:

Please read the proposal document carefully: it contains lots of information about why we are contemplating this change and what it will mean for our academies, pupils, staff, parents, and carers. It is the product of a long and thoughtful process of discussion about the best interests of the academies.

At this stage, the amalgamation is only a proposal, and we would welcome your views.  You can submit your feedback by scanning the QR code below to access the link to our consultation feedback survey.
