About the Mercian Trust

The Mercian Trust was incorporated in January 2018 and governs nine secondary schools, including selective grammar schools, large comprehensives, an alternative provision free school and a studio school. Six of the Trust’s schools are located in Walsall: Queen Mary’s High School, Queen Mary’s Grammar School, Walsall Studio School, The Ladder School, Aldridge School, and Shire Oak Academy. Three of our schools; Q3 Tipton, Q3 Langley and Q3 Great Barr, are located in Sandwell.

Trust ethos & values

Our name is rooted in history and expresses a geographical identity and ambition. The ancient kingdom of Mercia encompassed much of what we now recognise as the West Midlands – and crucially for us it included what we now call the Black Country. It was in Mercia that St Chad established an association of small monasteries which fostered unity through bonds of kinship.

Now, a thousand years later, we look to demonstrate the same spirit in our approach. We are a family of schools committed to each other – diverse in nature, proud custodians of our history and success, but together, one charitable Trust with a common purpose.

Our Trust exists to equip our students to live life to the full.

Our mission is increasing opportunities andimproving outcomes to enable our students to:

  • Realise their potential.
  • Thrive in the world of work.
  • Make a positive contribution to the local, national and international community.

Our values are:

  • Excellence and Rigour
  • Challenge and Support
  • Safety and Wellbeing
  • Acceptance and Applause
