Who is Invictus Education Trust?
The Trust comprises of six secondary schools and one primary school in the West Midlands/South Staffordshire areas and was created in March 2015 by a group of like-minded schools:

· Kinver High School - Kinver, South Staffordshire
· Leasowes High School - Halesowen, West Midlands

In September 2021 Rufford Primary School and Nursery became the first primary school to join the Trust.
