Roots to grow, fruit to flourish'

We are proud of our rich and vibrant curriculum that stimulates children's imaginations and creative thinking.

Our People strategy enables us to nurture, develop and support our colleagues so that they can provide the very best for our children.

Our School Trust is underpinned by our four core beliefs;

we are stronger together, a sense of belonging; removing barriers and realising the possible. This means that by working collectively, we can achieve our absolute best to ensure that children, especially the most vulnerable, can flourish.

We can offer you:

? The opportunity to make a profound difference to children's lives

? An impactful People Strategy that enables us to nurture, develop and support our colleagues so that they can provide the very best for our children

? Trust benefit schemes including Cycle and Tech schemes

? Generous Local Government Pension Scheme

All our schools are each at the centre of their local communities and celebrate their individuality and distinctiveness. A core feature in how we work as a School Trust is our collective approach in delivering an exceptional education for all children. We do this through working very closely together in mutual support and challenge to empower excellence for our children, families, and the communities that we serve.

In short, our ethos is one of working together to

Empower, Excel, Together

.
