Trust Merger

Pontefract Academies Trust and Ark Merger

On 1st September 2026, Pontefract Academies Trust officially merged with Ark, bringing together two organisations with a shared commitment to helping every child enjoy a great education and real choices in life. As we move forward, we're looking forward to learning from one another, building on the strengths that have made both organisations successful, and creating even more opportunities for the children, young people and communities we serve.
