On 1st March 2026, The Hastings Academy was renamed Mulberry Academy Hastings following the transfer of the school to the Mulberry Schools Trust. The school’s policies will be updated in due course by the Mulberry Schools Trust to reflect this change.

As far as is practicable, all existing policies will continue to take effect post-transfer, unless in direct and unavoidable conflict with a relevant Mulberry Schools Trust policy where the provisions of the latter will take precedence.
