Our schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could.

Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning, preparation and assessment), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It’s an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’. United Rewards, covering lifestyle and retail benefits including childcare vouchers, car lease scheme, cycle to work etc.
