Eckington School joined Chorus Education Trust in April 2023, at which point we also welcomed a new headteacher, whose proven track record in developing a positive ethos under strong leadership is enabling the school on its journey of improvement. Further appointments to the senior leadership team have created a school with ambition to deliver on the Chorus Trust ethos of outstanding achievement for all.
