What the school offers its staff
Bassett Green Primary School is a proud member of the
Aspire Community Trust. It enables us to collaborate and
share good practice with a number of other schools, whilst
retaining our own identity and autonomy.
The Aspire Community Trust was set up in 2017. It is a co-operative trust, which means that our family of schools all have their own ethos, governing body and headteacher. We choose to work together because we are all stronger when we share resources, expertise and ideas.
We are a diverse family!

- Bevois Town Primary School
- Cantell Secondary School

- Mansbridge Primary School
- Maytree Infants and Nursery School
- Mount Pleasant Junior School
- Swaythling Primary School
- Vermont Special School
Working together has enabled us to set up curriculum network groups to map progression from EYFS to GCSE in all subjects of the National Curriculum. We have a SENCo group who work together to share good practice, a Business Managers group to look at joint procurement and secure best value in these challenging financial times. We have a DSL group who meet to ensure we are meeting all the challenges that the rapidly evolving safeguarding remit presents us with.
We recognise that we have to look after our headteachers. Aspire Community Trust is
proud to have been the driving force behind the Southampton ‘Caversham Covenant’-
a set of agreements and understandings that seek to enable headteachers and other
key partners to look after each other during times when headship can feel like a lonely
job. Because it’s still the best job in the world, and schools flourish when their leaders
thrive. We look after our headteachers - the Bassett Green post is a rare opportunity to
come and join our vibrant family of schools and secure a better future for all our
children.
