Shaw Education Trust is a thriving mix of diverse and growing schools, including Primary, Secondary, and Special Schools, all working together to improve the lives of young people in our communities. We are sponsored by Shaw Trust, a charity organization that focuses on transforming lives. We’re a growing group of dynamically innovative academies providing education to children of all ages and abilities. Staff across our team of schools are dedicated to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to be successful, regardless of their starting point in life.
We believe that everyone has the potential to be extraordinary!
To this end, our growing number of Primary schools within the trust tirelessly pursue excellence through research-based collaboration and innovation. Our developing, trust-wide, 3D Primary curriculum and pioneering Digital Strategy are designed to create inspirational, energetic, and immersive learning experiences. These enable every child to flourish within a caring, stimulating, and purposeful atmosphere; fully prepared for their next stage of life and learning.
We know that at primary school, the quality of teaching affects both children’s social behavior and intellectual development. This age and stage of learning have a more powerful impact on children’s academic progress than any other educational sector. Home also plays a vital part! Recognized through extensive research, the importance of early experiences and the powerful partnership between home, pre-school, and primary school set the foundations enabling our children to succeed.
Unlike other MATs, we don’t enforce a curriculum for all our schools to follow. Instead, we support each individual school to offer a program that enables our students to deepen their knowledge, develop their skills, spark their imagination, and fire their curiosity.
Our schools span from Birmingham to Bury, supporting students from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses. In doing so, we help ensure all children access high-quality education and are treated equally.
