In 2013-4 the headteachers and chairs of governors of schools in the Bridport area began discussions about the best way forward in the ever-changing education and social care environment created by central government and the Local Authority.  After extensive discussions, visits to other collaborations of schools, seeking advice from a wide range of sources and consultation with staff and parents, four schools/academies formed a Multi-Academy Trust (called the Minerva Learning Trust) with effect from 1st April 2016.
