Funding came through Futura Learning Partnership, the academy trust overseeing Chilton Trinity, with its commercial trading arm reinvesting profits into enhancing school facilities. Tim Howes, Futura’s COO, remarked, “Opening this IT suite exemplifies how we channel resources back to our schools to keep them on the cutting edge of educational innovation.”
In line with Chilton Trinity’s commitment to sustainability, the project incorporated reused desks and energy-efficient technologies, significantly reducing the school’s carbon footprint while providing a modern space for learning and growth.
