The AST Board of Trustees, subject to formal agreement with the Department for Education, has agreed to become the ‘incoming trust’ for the three SW Steiner Academies (Bristol, Frome and Exeter). The Chair of the AST Board, Professor Mike Younger, states:

‘I am pleased to report that the AST Board has decided to progress ahead with the transfer of the three SW schools into Â鶹¹ú²úAV. We are excited to welcome these schools into the Â鶹¹ú²úAV family in what will be no doubt be a challenging but rewarding endeavour to provide the best possible education for the pupils of these three schools.’

AST will now be working with the academy principals, AMC Chairs and board members, staff and pupils to ensure a smooth and seamless transfer later in the year.
