Within our family of schools we have a nursery and first school, infants and juniors, primary, an all-through school, five secondaries and an extended secondary.
The Trust aims to ensure that the skills and experience of staff at all the schools are maximised to ensure that the students in our care receive the best education possible. Expertise in teaching and learning is shared across the entire trust and support systems are centralised to enable the schools to achieve maximum efficiency from all our resources.
