Philosophy

The trust champions the right of students with special educational needs. It is committed to helping to develop into:

  • confident individuals who are positive about who they are and what they can do,
  • successful enthusiastic and motivated learners,
  • positive participants in the local and wider communities.

It will do this by quality, expert teaching, providing a range of teaching and non-teaching professionals who have a comprehensive skill set and flexible teaching to enable the student to successfully move on to the next learning stage and personal independence. [3]

History

The trust was founded in 2013, growing out of the Abbey Hill single academy trust. [3] It was joined by the other academies the following years.

It was a founder member of the Northern Alliance of Trusts[4].
