Significant events
- “During the year, conversations have been ongoing to merge the St Hybalds Academy Trust with a larger Trust. The vision of the government is that all small multi academy trusts would work better in larger multi academy trusts. Consequently, the Directors have been exploring a suitable trust which would support and match the vision of the St Hybald's Academy Trust. After exploring a number of Academy Trusts, the Directors determined that the most suitable Trust would be the Rose learning Trust. This merger has been ratified by the DfE and will take affect from the 1st June 2025.”
- “On 31 May 2025, St Hybald's Academy Trust ceased to operate as an independent academy. On 1 June 2025, the Academy Trust's operations, including its assets and liabilities, transferred to The Rose Learning Trust, a multi academy trust incorporated under Company Registration Number 08820308. St Hybald's Academ Trust has been dormant since 1 June 2025 and will be formally wound up in due course.”
