History
In September 2010, Holywells High School become an academy, originally ran by the Learning Schools Trust, and was renamed Ipswich Academy.[1] In September 2015, Paradigm Trust - a multi-academy trust formed in September 2013 - took over operation of the academy.[2]
Paradigm Trust was formed with a very simple ethos: it is that every child is entitled to an outstanding education, with equal access to knowledge, skills, opportunities, aspirations, life chances and dignity.[3]
It aims to provide this in many ways to every child at the schools in the Trust; leading with a well-planned and taught curriculum, in an environment where the safety and well-being of pupils are paramount.
