We operate five academies on six sites from a nursery infant, a junior, an all through, a secondary, to a post 16 college, with a community of close on 4,000 students and 500 staff.
Our core vision is to change and enhance life chances and secure social mobility and justice for young people in our community through a culture of care. We are dedicated to Creating Excellence Together and these words have been carefully chosen to reflect our commitment to continuous improvement and working together in partnership.
We create opportunities and enrichment within and beyond the classroom, so that every pupil and student is provided with a platform from which to succeed. We achieve this through:

- A vision that is coherent and a logical step for education in the area.
- Effectiveness rooted in an understanding of the complex local context.
- Leadership that is immensely strong, ambitious, and committed.
