A SHINY NEW SCHOOL COMES ONBOARD: Diamond Academy joins Inspiration Trust

Back in January, Diamond Academy became the 16th school to join our trust.

The primary school, based in Thetford, is not too far from one of our other trust schools - Thetford Academy. Diamond Academy is a two form entry primary that caters for around 200 children aged 7-11.

Inspiration Trust’s very own Heather Denny stepped into the role of Principal and with the support of all the brilliant teachers and support staff at the school, a number of positive changes have been made in the first half term alone.

Together, the school has already begun to deliver its new behaviour curriculum, aptly named ‘The Diamond Way’ which runs alongside a new rewards system - both of which have already received lots of positive feedback.

The school has also started its journey with UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools, which has seen Diamond Academy introduce weekly lessons on the conventions on the rights of a child. These sessions help pupils develop oracy and vocabulary as well as support in embedding values and setting the students up to lead happy, healthy lives.

A fantastic start to this gem of a school’s Inspiration Trust story!
