Our formal school improvement structure means that we share human and physical resources to benefit all pupils, families and the wider communities who attend a school within the Trust.

While all of our schools will focus on high quality teaching, each will continue to develop their own unique characteristics and ethos, maintaining a strong, individual identity within their respective communities.

Each will have its own development plan, underpinned by a clear leadership structure and effective school-to-school support.

We place a sharp focus on the teaching of basic literacy and numeracy skills within a rich curriculum, which enables children to understand why learning is important and what they need to do to achieve their full potential.
