You may have heard that Kingswood Inspiring Learning has gone into administration. This has caused some confusion about which centre near Wolverhampton has closed – It is not The Kingswood Trust. We are an independent charity and have no link or relationship with the company, situated near our site at the end of Barn Lane.
Rachel Wells, Head Teacher and Charity Manager said,
“We are very sorry to hear this news. It will be a very difficult time for our neighbours and a huge blow to all concerned, especially children, schools and groups who were due to visit.
She added, “We have been sending messages out by way of a reassurance that Kingswood Trust is fine – ‘business as usual’.”
On a positive note ….
