The Kite Academy Trust is a Multi-Academy Trust formed in October 2015 with a shared aim of providing the very best for all of our children, families and staff. Our Trust is built around our shared vision - to be a first class, inclusive, collaborative and forward-thinking family of local academies - and our ‘AIR’ values of Aspiration, Integrity & Respect. Collaboration at every level, across the Trust, is a vital element in our continuing success. We are a Trust with our vision and values at the heart of all that do, and whilst our schools have their own distinct identities, we believe that by working collaboratively as one Trust wide team, we are uniquely placed to create an incredible education offer for the children of The Kite Academy Trust.
Following the arrivals of our new CEO and Director of Education at The Kite Academy Trust, we are looking to appoint talented early career teachers across all phases to join our expanding team from September 2024.
