Each of our schools has its own unique and distinctive character and vision for its community, something we proudly celebrate and protect. Each offers an amazing environment for its children and its colleagues, and we encourage you to learn more about their incredible work.

At our core, our purpose is to:

  • strengthen and enhance our communities*

We empower and develop our staff through access to high-impact CPD opportunities, including coaching and mentoring, professional development programmes, networks across the Trust, and our EKC Group and KMA Partners.
