The coastal school conundrum, highlighted once more by the recent Social Market Foundation report (January 2016), is characterised by a lack of good teachers, low aspirations, educational isolation and difficulties brought about by changes to education policy.
At the Active Learning Trust (ALT), our learning hubs, based geographically in Cambridge, Lowestoft and Ipswich, are designed to create strong professional partnerships across all ALT academies, and to stimulate and support schools across all these challenges.
The coastal Lowestoft Hub is built on the foundations of a traditional partnership in the south of Lowestoft. Initially three primary schools, Grove, Red Oak (formally Fen Park) and Westwood (formally Whitton Green), formed the basis for the hub and, in the past year, this has expanded to include Pakefield and Reydon primary schools.
