SWECET formed in 2015 when a group of like-minded schools came together to form the South West Essex Community Education Trust. They were united in the belief that every young person needs and deserves an education that will maximise their future life chances and that this could be better achieved together.
The founding schools and those schools that have joined since are all united by shared values and beliefs, but this is where the similarities end. We encourage each other to remain unique places of learning. We believe our schools’ differences are an asset, allowing for creative thinking and sharing of best practice, raising standards across the Trust and providing exciting opportunities for our students.
In scope for this project the 6 of the Trust’s schools – three primaries and three secondary schools;
Deneholm Primary School
Stifford Clays Primary School
Chadwell St Mary Primary School
Marshalls Park Academy
Orsett Heath Academy
William Edwards School.
