We are delighted to share that the The CAM Academy Trust and ACES Academies Trust have now merged.🎉
This week we welcome all five ACES schools, including Hinchingbrooke School, Cromwell Academy, Godmanchester Community Academy, Godmanchester Bridge Academy and Spaldwick Primary School into the CAM family. This takes The CAM Academy Trust to 17 schools, strengthening our offer to the region and bringing more opportunities for collaboration and impact.
The merger follows a period of strategic reflection by ACES Academies Trust as it sought to secure long-term sustainability for their schools. It brings together two locally rooted, values-driven organisations with a shared commitment to delivering high-quality education for children and young people. This transition comes as Andrew Goulding, CEO of ACES Academies Trust, takes retirement, and we would like to recognise and thank him for his leadership and contribution.
The expanded trust benefits from increased capacity, deeper professional networks and enhanced opportunities for staff development, while ensuring that each school retains its unique identity and strong local connections. CAM’s commitment to all-through education, supported by established feeder relationships, is further strengthened through this merger.
This is an important milestone for both organisations and reflects our shared values, ambitions, and commitment to our communities.
We look forward to working closely with colleagues, pupils, families and communities as we begin this next chapter together.
