Feeding Families, Strengthening Bonds: MAP Campus Introduces Sustainable Food Co-Op
Published 27/03/25

Marine Academy Plymouth and Marine Academy Primary, which make up the MAP Campus, are excited to announce the launch of a new food co-operative for their school communities.

The co-op, starting this March, will offer families affordable, high-quality food with a focus on sustainability and community involvement. With a cost of just £3 per week, members will receive a weekly bag of nutritious surplus food from partner FareShare Southwest. This innovative initiative is a direct response to Plymouth’s shift to more sustainable models like co-operatives aiming to make healthy food more accessible to all.

Kelly Fritzsche, from Cooperation Town, is leading the food co-op project across Plymouth and has already visited the MAP Campus to talk to families about how to find out more about how the food co-op works and how to get involved.

The food co-op is open to all and encourages inclusivity, with members playing an active role in its operations. Not only will members save money on their weekly grocery shop, but they will also have the opportunity to connect with other members, learn new skills, and access additional support for the cost-of-living crisis.

Marine Academy Plymouth and Marine Academy Primary are both part of the Ted Wragg Trust and offer innovative education and a strong community focus, aiming to encourage both academic excellence and social responsibility.

Spaces are still available in the co-operative and to get involved please contact Rachel Early at: rachel.earley@asap.org.uk

Jennifer Brimming, Principal of Marine Academy Plymouth said:

"The food co-op is about much more than just food — it's about building community. Members will work together to provide each other with affordable, nutritious meals while learning valuable skills along the way. We're proud to be part of a project that not only supports families but also builds a sense of connection within our school community."

Kelly Fritzsche, Plymouth Food Co-op organiser said:

“Food Co-ops are a great way for members to save money on food shopping, meet new people and make friends. This movement is about social action and empowering people, food Co-ops are member run and member owned, we make the difference for ourselves and our families.”

Georgina Reid, Headteacher at Marine Academy Primary said:

"We are incredibly proud to be part of this new food co-op initiative. At Marine Academy Primary, we are committed to creating opportunities that nurture both the academic and social well-being of our pupils and their families, and this initiative is a perfect example of that.”

West Exe School Joins National Art Programme, Art Bytes, Celebrating Creativity and Cultural Capital
Published 20/03/25

West Exe School is thrilled to be participating in Art Bytes, a prestigious national art and EdTech programme that encourages creativity and builds cultural capital for students. The programme, which combines an inter-school art competition with a bespoke virtual gallery and in-person celebration events across England, is aimed at Year 5 and Year 9 students. It has proven to nurture talent, raise ambition, and develop vital skills that will benefit students in future employment.

Art Bytes is now in its 12th year and the programme supports not only the development of artistic skills but also mental health and emotional well-being by creating a space for young people to express themselves through art. By engaging with this competition, students are given the chance to showcase their talent, gain confidence, and be part of an inclusive creative community.

The programme culminates in a series of events, including the Art Bytes Virtual Exhibition in June. Once all artwork entries are submitted, the Art Bytes panel of expert judges will shortlist the top three entries from each participating school. These shortlisted entries will be showcased in the virtual gallery, and an online public vote will open on the 3rd of April.

The students with the most votes from each school will win a place in the annual virtual exhibition and the opportunity to be regional or national winners. Additionally, the school with the most votes will receive the Community Engagement Award, with a certificate and generous art prizes awarded from Art Bytes sponsors.

West Exe School, which is part of the Ted Wragg Trust, is being sponsored to take part in the competition by The Arts Society Exeter. The Arts Society Exeter’s aim is to increase the understanding, knowledge and enjoyment of arts in the broadest sense by holding talks each month and by supporting arts education in the local community.

Celebrating Inclusion: Ted Wragg Trust Shortlisted for Two National Education Awards
Published 19/03/25

The Ted Wragg Trust has been shortlisted for two national education awards. The trust which runs eighteen schools across Devon has been shortlisted for the SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) award at the MAT Excellence Awards, as well as the Best Practice in Inclusive Education Award at the Education Business Awards.

The MAT Excellence Awards give trusts across the UK the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of their schools, students and staff and the positive impact they have on their local community. They allow trusts to showcase their expertise and share their knowledge with peers. The awards ceremony will be held later this year in London.

The Education Business Awards also celebrate the outstanding achievements and commitment of schools and academies across the UK. Sponsored by Cornerstone and supported by the Department for Education, the awards have been recognising the achievements of state and independent schools across the country since 2009.

At the Ted Wragg Trust, staff are committed to helping children with SEND access a broad curriculum and receive the support they need to thrive. At the core of this is ensuring that all students are valued for the contribution they make and feel positive about themselves. All children are taught the skills they need to be emotionally literate, safe, connected and successful and staff access the highest quality continuous professional development to make this possible.

The Ted Wragg Trust have developed their own SEND strategy and have worked tirelessly to ensure that children’s needs are identified accurately and early. This led to the development of the trust’s speech and language team (SaLT) as staff recognised that unmet speech and language needs were impacting pupils and their learning experiences. The SaLT team now screen all Reception and Year 7 children and provide 1:1 and small group intervention.

This year the trust has also introduced their Emotional Literacy and Wellbeing Strategy. Social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) is the highest area of identified need within the trust with over 1,200 children having this identified as their primary area of need. They have also developed a strategy on mental health and wellbeing underscoring their belief in a whole-school approach to mental health. The strategy, which has been influenced by their family of schools and their local communities, aims to ensure every child is taught the skills they need to be emotionally literate, self-aware, and mentally well, helping to create a supportive, healthy learning environment across all schools.

Ted Wragg Trust schools include All Saints Academy Plymouth, Cranbrook Education Campus, Exwick Heights Primary, Honiton Community College, Isca Academy, Lipson Academy, Marine Academy Primary, Marine Academy Plymouth, Queen Elizabeth’s School, St James School, St Luke’s Church of England School, Sidmouth College, West Exe School, Exmouth Community College, Tor Bridge High and Whipton Barton.

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said:

“We are hugely proud of our students, staff and families who work tirelessly together to make sure our SEND students have the best possible experience, and this shortlisting is testament to this collective ambition and dedication. We know that the SEND landscape is increasingly difficult, but as a trust we are committed to continuing to innovate and empower our schools to create supportive environments where every student can thrive.”
