The Connect Effect!

Making a positive impact

By working together and supporting one another, good things happen for everyone involved with our family of schools – from children and staff to partner organisations and our wider community.

"Working across the schools in the Connect Academy Trust has given me a unique insight into the way the 4 anchors are embedded within the way each schools works, whilst retaining their individual identity for their own communities."

Sarah Ryder

School Improvement Lead at Connect

"Our boy started school at Preston this year and what can I say, the school is fantastic! As our first child going to school we were naturally a little anxious but everyone at the school has made us and our son feel so welcome! I would highly recommend."

"A sense of a wider team and support network. You never feel on your own as you are surrounded by knowledge and expertise."

Miss Davies

Year 6 Teacher

"As a parent of two children attending Eggbuckland Vale Primary School I have experienced first hand the nurturing and supportive environment that has always encouraged high standards of achievement. I have no hesitation in recommending the school to new parents and their children as a place they can be confident will take their child from strength to strength."

Gemma Nevitt
