Vision

Spencer Academies Trust is an exceptional Trust, providing an outstanding education for local children.

We Believe: 

• All children have a right to a quality education regardless of background or ability, and have an entitlement to the opportunity of a secure progression route in their learning and development. 
• Schools are stronger when they work in collaboration with each other, operate within a ‘family’ and are open to a true sense of partnership. 
• We grow the effectiveness and sustainability of our schools by developing the people within them, and that through shared and equitable responsibility for quality and outcomes; we achieve more.

Applicants would be expected to share the Trust’s high aspirations and expectations for pupils and staff and have demonstrable evidence of driving teaching and learning outcomes in the primary phase.
