Our Journey

Greek for Education and meaning to ‘draw from within’, Edukos Trust is a family of primary schools, currently all from within the East Riding of Yorkshire. The journey has been both exciting and interesting. We’re proud of our strengths and the collaborative approach we take to supporting the children, families, staff, and wider community that we serve. It is for that reason that we are keen to welcome new members to our family of schools and look forward to being able to work with you in the future.

Single Academy Trust

The coalition government allowed Outstanding schools to become academies. Swanland Primary School’s LGB undertook rigorous fact finding and decided at that time it was the right thing to do for the school. This was only ever intended to benefit the Swanland Primary School Community.

Having been approached by Dunswell Primary School’s LGB, the Trustees of Swanland Primary School Academy Trust agreed to convert to a Multi Academy Trust.This was done to safeguard Dunswell’s future, support it’s improvement and to establish a new leadership structure.

Name of Trust Changed

Owing to the Trust having been ‘inaugurated’ by Swanland Primary School, the name of the trust was established in 2011.As the political landscape was heavily leaning towards all schools being academies, the Trustees decided to change the name, removing ‘Primary School’ to distinguish that it was not just one school.

Growth Plan (Phase 1)

With Government policy still being firmly on all schools becoming academies, the Trustees developed their Growth Plan Strategy to support this policy. This was around aligning staffing structures, policy and procedures and beginning to work with a wider group of schools. Discussions with Sheffield Diocese began.

Reconstituted to Mixed MAT

Owing to Hook CE Primary School wanting to join the Trust, the legal structure of the trust was changed to ensure that schools with a church affiliation would be able to join. This means that on the board of Trustees or Members Board, the Diocese will have representation.

Beverley St Nicholas Joined
"Being new to leadership, I have been able to call upon the knowledge and expertise of other leaders within the Trust. This has been of great support to me and the school, particularly in difficult and challenging times. I have greatly appreciated the support and know that other staff have really benefited from the knowledge of others."

Alison Oxtoby
Executive Head Teacher "Being a part of Edukos has been incredibly beneficial. We have been able to work closely together to develop and improve our schools, our curriculum and to provide learning opportunities for both the children and the staff."

Hannah Stephenson
Head Teacher "To be part of a trust where you feel you are listened to and your ideas valued, has been incredibly reassuring for our school community who were worried that Hook CE Primary School might lose its character. This is certainly not our experience, but more that our unique values and those of all the trust schools, are nurtured and respected."

Caroline Ainley
Head of School
