A bit about us: EQUA Mead Learning Trust is a family of like-minded schools, that collaborate to provide mutual support, share best practice and learn from each other, whilst retaining and developing each schools individual and distinctive character. We believe every child has the right to an inspiring and fulfilling education and we seek to improve the life chances of all those we serve; therefore, we make it our mission to give Every Child, Every Chance of success. At EQUA Mead, we are an inclusive, passionate and forward-looking educational organisation. We are a Trust of seventeen primary schools, twosecondary schools and eight nurseries, all based in Wiltshire. In addition, we have three additional schools joining us in September 2025. Across our schools, we also have four Resource Bases that provide specialist education to children and young people with complex needs. We believe in the power of education to transform lives and shape a brighter future. We are dedicated to fostering a strong sense of communitywhere everyone works together to achieve their very best. At all of our schools, we do all we can to enable each child and young person torealise their full potential and to develop positive social and moral values. We understand that successful schools are rooted in their local community. We respect and value the individual nature and ethos of each schoolwhile knowing we are more effective when we work together and support each other. We are a mixed Trust that benefits from both church and non-church-based schools and we actively celebrate this diversity. We are highly inclusive and collaborate closely to promote a culture ofopenness and integrity. We thrive on providing a wealth of support to schools and seek to empower school leaders. Our CPD, NPQs, ITT, networks, training, researchprogrammes and range of courses underpin a comprehensive development programme for all staff, whilst ensuring wellbeing is at the centre of all decision making.
