We are an inclusive School Trust where everything begins and ends with the children. We want to ensure that we have a profound impact on the future lives of our children so that they have choices and options which will enable them to flourish as they go through life. Quite simply, we put children first in all that we do.

We are committed to social mobility by working together as a single School Trust with a shared responsibility for all children, no matter which school they attend, including Church and community schools.

We invest in people, enabling them to flourish and ensure that every child is taught by a great teacher. Our wellbeing strategy enables us to nurture, develop and care for our colleagues so that they can provide the very best for our children

We want every child to experience an excellent curriculum which is distinctive to their community and create environments where they are cared for, inspired, challenged, and develop a love of learning.

We care passionately about children outside of our School Trust as well. We collaborate and work with other schools and School Trusts as well as being a National English Hub that specialises in early reading and phonics.

We are driven by our values and our passion is to serve our pupils, colleagues, and communities to the very best of our abilities.
