Founded on the principles of the early years and primary curriculum, Prince Regent Street Trust is a group of primary schools with a common purpose. The Trust is fundamentally one of sustainable school improvement.

All schools are good and outstanding, yet are very different in so many ways. We feel that having such a variety of different schools will enhance our capacity to support and develop other schools joining the Trust. We have a very successful primary ethos, which enables all children to maximise their potential.

We strongly believe that every child has the right to the highest quality education. Successful schools and their leaders hold the responsibility to work alongside other schools to support improvement. Leaders have a collective responsibility for improving the whole system for mutual benefit. The Trust is committed to highly effective working partnerships with school leaders, colleagues, parents and all other stakeholders.

EXCELLENCE – high expectations – problem solving, teamwork and strong leadership results in the ongoing improvement of the organisation for all pupils and staff.

OPPORTUNITY – ensuring our pupils and staff are ready to grasp their next challenge whatever that may be with enthusiasm and confidence.

PARTNERSHIPS – building credible relationships, locally and nationally, recognising strengths, learning from one another and taking ownership of trust values.
