We are a family of academies who share one vision:

To provide the highest quality education for young people in the communities we serve .

Our vision goes beyond our own Trust. We want to contribute to the broader regeneration of our region by empowering our students to have high aspirations, achieve excellent outcomes and enjoy learning.

We aim to achieve our vision by being an excellent employer who ensures that all staff within and across our academies work together with high levels of moral integrity. We base every decision around one fundamental question: how will things improve for our young people as a result of this?

Our Academies share one vision and implement the same policies, but we are proud that each has its own unique identity. Staff collaborate within and across academies. We are committed to continually developing all staff so that they have high levels of satisfaction and are motivated to provide the best possible teaching and support to our students. We have the organisational expertise to support our academies and to support the sustainable growth of the Trust.

We are committed to the recruitment, retention and development of excellent staff, who are passionate about building positive relationships and improving the life chances of our young people.

Our academies recognise the huge potential in all of our students, we have high expectations and insist on high standards for all.Both academies have been evaluated as 'good' in all areas by Ofsted:

Southmoor (Ofsted November: 2017): Southmoor Academy is a good and improving school where pupils are achieving well.Staff morale is very good... Teachers have good subject knowledge and use skilful questioning to extend pupils' learning, develop skills and increase their understanding.

Southmoor 16-19 study: Students are mature and sensible. Current students in Years 12 and 13 are making good progress on their chosen courses because teaching is consistently good and members of staff are on hand to support them every step of the way.

Sandhill View (Ofsted September 2021): 'Leaders have put in a place an ambitious curriculum to challenge pupils and encourage them to aim high...Curriculum leaders have organised the topics in each subject so that pupils can build on what they already know. Pupils learn effectively in lessons because they enjoy learning, and their behaviour is good.'
