A Welcome from the Sponsor
The Greensward Charitable Trust

New Rickstones Academy is a key member of a federation of three new Academies in Hockley and Witham created to provide thousands of students with the best possible education.

As their sponsor, the Greensward Charitable Trust firmly believes that all young people in the two communities deserve to become world class learners – to learn, enjoy, succeed and thrive in a first rate educational environment, with the best facilities, the best teaching and the most up to date resources available to them.

We aim to provide the opportunity for all young learners to fulfil their real potential, broaden their horizons and become active, prosperous and successful citizens in the world around them. To achieve this aim we have set up the Academies Enterprise Trust, which will act as the operational body that will ensure each Academy becomes high performing as quickly as possible.

We are committed to doing everything we can to ensure that they can, in the future, compete on the world stage with the skills, confidence and flair to generate new ideas, new initiatives and thereby make a full contribution to tomorrow’s world.

We wish to play our part in making Hockley and Witham even better places in which to live, work and visit.
