The two London schools are currently part of Parallel Learning Trust (PLT). However, with PLT closing shortly, all its six schools need to join new academy trusts. Wandle Valley Academy, in Sutton, and Evolve Academy, in Lambeth, will join Alternative Learning Trust (ALT) on 1 st September, while PLT’s two schools in Southend (Victory Park Academy and Sutton House Academy) will transfer to Fortis Trust on the same day. Inspire Free School, in Medway, joined Rivermead Inclusive Trust earlier this year. The sixth school, Ramsden Hall Academy, in Essex, will join its new trust later next school year. The new trusts were all selected by PLT’s Board of Trustees after much careful consideration, and have been approved by the Department for Education. Angela Barry OBE, the Chief Executive Officer of PLT, said: “I am delighted that all the schools are joining such superb academy trusts. The Board’s decision was based above all on what is in the best interests of the pupils, their families and the staff of each school. “I have every confidence that the schools will continue to improve and provide an even higher quality of education and care to children and young people. “ALT is an excellent specialist education organisation which has a track record of providing a strong, sustainable and supportive home for its schools. Fortis Trust is an excellent specialist education organisation which places children and young people at the heart of all that it does.” [**Headteacher — Melissa Elvé-Williams**](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/our-academy/welcome) Evolve Academy is proud to have been recognised with the **[Rights Respecting School Award Bronze Award](https://www.unicef.org.uk/rights-respecting-schools/getting-started/bronze/what-is-bronze/)** from Unicef. ![](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/images/images/Bronze-logo.jpg)![](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/images/eed269b3e77e91eed15252b32ac15efe.png) #### #### ![](https://files.schudio.com/evolve-academy/images/menu/KenningtonPark-157.jpg) ### Ethos and Values [ethos-values-and-mission-statement](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/our-academy/ethos-values-and-mission-statement) ![](https://files.schudio.com/evolve-academy/images/menu/KenningtonPark-061.jpg) ### Information For Parents [parents-carers](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/parents-carers) ![](https://files.schudio.com/evolve-academy/images/menu/KenningtonPark-122.jpg) ### Term Dates [termdates](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/termdates) ## Latest News [See All News](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/news) 13 July 2026 ### Secondary letter End of Summer Term [Read more](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/news/2026-07-13-secondary-letter-end-of-summer-term) [![Image of Farewell to PC Jon](https://files.schudio.com/evolve-academy/images/news/a3a8384e-d2ef-499a-8ab9-5df7ecba2a16.JPG)](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/news/2026-06-01-farewell-to-pc-jon) 1 June 2026 ### Farewell to PC Jon [Read more](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/news/2026-06-01-farewell-to-pc-jon) [![Image of House competition](https://files.schudio.com/evolve-academy/images/news/Bold_House_Competition_Announcement_Poster.png)](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/news/2026-03-26-house-competition) 26 March 2026 ### House competition [Read more](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/news/2026-03-26-house-competition) ## Calendar [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2490.9856236827786!2d0.03705831617067107!3d51.36656097961223!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x487606abb5773d71%3A0x371276d48739dedd!2sParallel%20Learning%20Trust!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1660744636803!5m2!1sen!2suk) ![Evolve Academy](https://files.schudio.com/evolve-academy/images/logo/Evolve-academy-white-text.png) [ ![Parallel Learning Trust](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/images/logo/trust-logo.png) ](https://plt.org.uk/) **Evolve Academy** Gipsy Road West Norwood London SE27 9NP Tel: 0207 504 0542 © Copyright 2022–2026 Evolve Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://evolveacademy.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
