A multi-academy trust is looking for a trustee and governors to help steer the development of a new special school in Churchill.
The school was given the go-ahead in 2020 to provide 65 places for children aged five to 16 with social, emotional and mental health needs. Currently students with these needs have to travel outside of North Somerset for school.
Learn@ Multi Academy Trust, which will run the new school, is looking for a trustee who will help to appoint a headteacher, key staff and create an academy council. A trustee is required to start as soon as possible, and governors from September.
A SCHOOL in Taunton is set to expand after joining a multi academy trust. Sky College, off Pickeridge Close, has been renamed Sky Academy since the start of this month, when it became part of the Learn@ Multi Academy Trust. The college, which specialises in supporting boys aged 11 to 16 with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, is now part of a network of specialist schools.

Demand for places has been rising steadily in the last three years and it is currently the only SEMH specialist school in Somerset.
