About us:
Based in the heart of East Manchester, Wise Owl is a small Multi Academy Trust with big ambitions - for our children, our families and our communities.
Formed in May 2012, the Trust currently has five large Primary academies.
Just like thousands of children in other inner‑city areas, our pupils face real challenges in the world beyond the school gates. But here at Wise Owl we face those challenges together, with a RESPECT curriculum and family ethos that runs right across everything we do, at all three sites. We take our Trust motto, Together Everyone Achieves More, seriously when it comes to staff as well as student wellbeing.
We want Wise Owl Trust to be a place where ambitions are achieved, where aspirations are encouraged, including among our staff, and are dedicated to the professional development of all our employees.
