The Trust is passionate about both the academic achievement of its students and their growth as adult citizens and individuals. Drawn from the local inner-city community the school roll comprises a significant number of students eligible for Free School Meals and those for whom English is not their first home language. The Trust has a highly inclusive focus, a strong ethos of celebrating diversity and a strong pastoral system. Both schools also host a co-hort of students from a local special school who become integrated into mainstream lessons as they develop.
The Trust uses Capita SIMS for its MIS. The majority of its administration will move to a “google” platform from September and the Trust is in the process of implementing a new support staff structure.

She/he will be committed to the Trust ethos and eager to use the role to assist all students to reach their full potential by supporting them, the curriculum staff and those that lead them.
