About the Trust
We are a family of academies who share one vision: to provide the highest quality education for young people in the communities we serve. Our vision extends to contributing to the broader regeneration of our region by empowering our students to have high aspirations, achieve excellent outcomes and enjoy learning. We aim to be an excellent employer, supporting all staff across our academies with high levels of moral integrity. We design decisions around one fundamental question: how will things improve for our young people as a result of this?
Each academy has its own identity, but shares the same policies. Staff collaborate within and across academies. We are committed to continually developing all staff so they are highly satisfied, motivated to provide excellent teaching and support to our students. We have the expertise to support our academies and the sustainable growth of the Trust. We are committed to the recruitment, retention and development of excellent staff who are passionate about building positive relationships and improving the life chances of our young people.
The academies recognise the huge potential in our students; we have high expectations and insist on high standards for all. Both academies have been evaluated as “good” in all areas by Ofsted.
