Strategy

Our Trust’s current strategic priorities include: continuous school improvement, enhancing governance and leadership, managing our organisation efficiently, developing our digital strategy and exploring opportunities for growth. We are committed to improving student outcomes, particularly for disadvantaged students whose progress has been impacted by recent challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and cost of living pressures.

An exciting current development is the inclusion of Springfield School in the Department for Education’s School Rebuilding Programme. This investment will help us to create state-of-the-art facilities and provide an even better learning environment for our students, further strengthening the Trust’s capacity to deliver its vision of educational excellence. We anticipate that construction will commence in the 2025/26 academic year and we will be engaging proactively with the Department for Education and Contractor teams to secure the best possible provision for our students. In a similar vein, we proactively engage with Government and others to secure funding and development for our school; examples including our numerous successful CIF (Condition Improvement Fund) bids.
