Two education trusts are merging to form a new body overseeing 13 schools.
Clarion Corvus Trust and Inclusive Schools Trust are becoming Clarion Inclusive Trust on September 1.
The merger, following more than a year of consultation and preparation, will bring together more than 3,000 pupils from a mix of infant, junior, primary and secondary schools across Norfolk and Suffolk.
Jim Adams, who will serve as chief executive officer, said the trusts shared closely aligned values and ambitions for their pupils and staff.
This includes effective community engagement and a focus on inclusivity, especially for pupils with special education needs and disabilities (SEND).
Selene Sawyer will take on the role of deputy CEO while continuing as executive Headteacher of the Lionwood Schools.
The 13 schools that make up the new trust are Aslacton Primary School, Drayton Community Infant School, George White Junior School, Hobart High School, Lionwood Infant and Nursery School, Lionwood Junior School, Manor Field Infant and Nursery School, Mousehold Infant and Nursery School, Nightingale Infant and Nursery School, Pakefield High School, Thurlton Primary School, Watton Junior School, and Watton Infant and Nursery School.
