St Michael’s CofE Primary Academy Joins Three Spires Trust 

Gail Khan Associates (GKA) are thrilled to share that St. Michael’s CofE Primary Academy has officially joined Three Spires Trust today, marking the start of an exciting new chapter.   

Three Spires Trust is a growing MAT founded in 2021.  As part of its growth strategy, the Trust sought to bring St. Michael’s CofE Aided Primary School into the Trust, supporting the school’s conversion to an academy. 

Three Spires Trust required expert support to guide St. Michael’s CofE Primary School through the complex process of converting to an academy. This included ensuring the school met all the legal, financial, and regulatory requirements for the conversion and joining the Trust. Additionally, the Trust needed assistance in mitigating risks, facilitating smooth transitions for staff, and managing consultations with stakeholders to ensure a seamless process. 

Gail Khan Associates (GKA) has had a close working relationship with Three Spires Trust since its inception in 2021, providing the Trust with strategic support on various projects. When it came time for St. Michael’s CofE Primary School to convert to an academy and join the Trust, GKA was asked to provide comprehensive project management and advisory services throughout the process. 

Emily Verow, Chief Executive Officer, Three Spires Trust, said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome St. Michael’s CofE Primary Academy into the Three Spires Trust family. This is an important step in our journey as we continue to grow and expand our educational community. St. Michael’s shares our commitment to providing exceptional educational experiences, and we look forward to working together to achieve even greater success for the students, staff, and wider community. We are grateful for the support of Gail Khan Associates, whose expertise has been instrumental in guiding us through this transition smoothly.”
