Eko Trust
Kaizen was a founding school of Eko Trust, working with Eleanor Smith School and Gainsborough Primary School to form Eko on the 1st November 2016.
The three governing bodies wanted to develop a group of schools that worked together well, building on each school’s strengths; to learn from and challenge each other to create world class centres of education.
The governing bodies wanted to ensure that the schools continued to serve the communities; to make sure that inclusion remained at the heart of practice and that staff and children had great opportunities. Eko Trust has the ambition to grow, to work with schools that want to learn and have skills and expertise to offer as well as those that want to learn and have challenges to solve.
Earlham Primary School, Eko Pathways, Pathways School, Rushmere Hall Primary School, Hackney New Primary School and Gainsborough Primary School joined Eko Trust and it has been great to see the many things they have to offer and continue to grow with them.
