Nene Education Trust

The Nene Education Trust comprises of 8 unique and wonderful schools located in East Northamptonshire and Wellingborough. We are proud of our schools, students, staff and the communities they serve. We are committed to raising aspirations and developing character in a positive environment for all.

Raising aspirations and developing character is at the heart of everything we do within our schools to enable each young person to achieve highly and be successful in life, contributing back to the world we live in.

Throughout their educational journey in the Nene Education Trust, we aim to develop all our learners within a positive environment for learning, along with opportunities to develop their spiritual and moral compass so that they grow with integrity. Through a set of shared principles and our collaborative working we continue to develop as a multi-academy trust of highly effective schools. We are stronger together!
