The School Support Team enables school leaders to maintain their focus on children and education, with specialists providing the security and foundations for the educational provision, whilst the School Improvement Team support, develop, and evaluate the schools and their leaders to ensure the life chances of every child are realised. The Children's and Civic Services Team creates a flexible educational framework, tailored to each child's unique circumstances, ensuring that all pupils—regardless of their challenges—thrive, achieve and are well-prepared for life beyond school.
In the coming years the Trust seeks to serve all educational pathways with professionalism, investment and shared ethical values. This will ensure the children within our care are successful and safe regardless of the challenges they may face in education and society. We have a proven record of accomplishment in delivering academic improvement. We are enormously proud of our schools, leaders, governors, teachers and support staff who serve the children so well.
