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.

“The opportunities for parents to share workshops makes learning more exciting for our children.”

Parent

"We want the best for everyone who works in Connect Academy Trust. For our children to thrive, our staff need to feel confident, valued and encouraged in their roles. To that end, the Trust is committed to developing a professional learning community, where everyone has the right to be nurtured. We also want the best people to be working in Trust, so we develop talent and strength from within, whilst also being keen to bring in outstanding people from outside the Trust."
