Connect Academy Trust is an inclusive, values-based family of 9 primary schools in Newton Abbot, Torbay and Plymouth. We educate and support 3300 children, including a high proportion children who are disadvantaged, have additional needs and do not have easy access to local educational sites. With our schools spread over South Devon, we need a second minibus to enable these children to get to sports fixtures and complete educational visits as part of our curriculum, including 30 Ways to Connect. Fundraising activities include Stuart Bellworthy (CEO) and friend Peter Healy walking the 100 mile South Hams Way southhamsway.org.uk/ this summer and future fundraising events in each Connect school in 2026/27.
