Newlands Primary Academy will become part of the family of the University of Chichester Multi-Academy Trust, that has built a strong reputation, providing exceptional support for its children and staff. Across the Trust there is a shared commitment for collaboration which has empowered leaders to share their expertise and work together for the benefit of all. We are all committed to the same vision and values and a shared belief that education has the power to transform society.
