Alex Kirkbride, Principal at Honiton Community College comments, “I am incredibly proud and excited to have Honiton Community College join the Ted Wragg Trust from the 1st July. This represents a significant and positive step forward for our staff, students, and families. Whilst there will be little day to day change to the family and student experience at Honiton, all will benefit from the additional expertise and capacity that the Trust will offer, further accelerating our school improvement journey.”
