Our Vision
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 goes beyond our own Trust. We want to contribute to the broader regeneration of our region by empowering our students to have high aspirations, achieve excellent outcomes and enjoy learning. We aim to achieve our vision by being an excellent employer who ensures that all staff within and across our academies work together with high levels of moral integrity. We base every decision around one fundamental question: how will things improve for our young people as a result of this? Our Academies share one vision and implement the same policies, but we are proud that each has its own unique identity. Staff collaborate within and across academies. We are committed to continually developing all staff so that they have high levels of satisfaction and are motivated to provide the best possible teaching and support to our students. We have the organisational expertise to support our academies and to support the sustainable growth of the Trust.
Ofsted Evaluation
Sandhill View (Ofsted November 2025): Sandhill View Academy is a calm, happy and inclusive school where "inclusion is built in, not bolted on" and pupils, including the most vulnerable, speak warmly about the transformative support they receive. Leaders have created an "impressive personal development programme" that broadens horizons and equips pupils to thrive, while staff foster a safe, respectful environment where, as one pupil shared, "No matter who you are, you get support at this school." Pupils achieve well across the curriculum, with recent national assessments reflecting strong progress and increasing confidence in tackling more challenging learning.
Southmoor (Ofsted November 2017): Southmoor Academy is a good and improving school where pupils are achieving well. Staff morale is very good… Teachers have good subject knowledge and use skilful questioning to extend pupils’ learning, develop skills and increase their understanding.
Southmoor 16-19 study: Students are mature and sensible. Current students in Years 12 and 13 are making good progress on their chosen courses because teaching is consistently good and members of staff are on hand to support them every step of the way.
