Welcome to our partnership website, I'd like to say on behalf of the kids, staff, and governors. We sincerely hope that you will be delighted with the opportunities available for your child because we are incredibly proud of our academies and the quality of care and education we offer. Our relationship is set up as a collaboration between Gillingham St. Michael's and Ditchingham Academies. For students in Reception through Year 6, both academies include mixed-age programmes that serve a number of the nearby villages. Our collaboration is a part of the Diocese of Norwich Education and Academies Trust, and both of our academies are served by the same local governing body. We collaborate with the trust to create an atmosphere where schools can thrive as prosperous Academies. DNEAT is of the opinion that Academies gain from participation in a network that values professional development and challenge. The Church of England schools in our diocese have always been dedicated to cooperating and carrying out their Christian mission as organisations. To provide the finest care possible for the children and young people under our care, we have always endeavoured to collaborate productively with other organisations and with one another. Belonging to the Trust enhances such prospects and offers school administrators and governors a helpful and properly challenged environment to achieve the best results for their institution. The Trust fully supports independent schools that are held accountable and committed to giving their students the best learning environments possible. This website includes information that will help you learn more about our school and how we operate as well as certain information that is needed by law. In addition to outlining our objectives and what we can provide for your kid and their education, we hope the information on this site will help you make an informed decision when selecting the best school for your child. We cherish our relationships with parents and work to keep them updated on both their child's progress and school-wide events. We are confident that by working together, we can guarantee your child's happiness at school because happy kids learn better. We communicate regularly with parents through newsletters, parents' evenings, open sessions, home/school books and informal chats. If you should ever have any concerns about your child please arrange to see your child's teacher. We will build on the learning experiences that your child has had before coming to one of our academies. Children will be taught at a level appropriate for them and we will keep you informed of your child's progress throughout their time with us. We treat each child as an individual and will ensure that all of our children have opportunities for success during their time here and aim to ensure that they enjoy coming to school.
