At our Trust, we believe that every child is a special individual, capable of extraordinary things. All schools support and challenge every child to do what they think they cannot, to persist, to work hard and to be their best. A defining feature of the Trust is that it is a specialist primary phase Trust. This means that our work is driven by the distinctive needs of primary schools. The Trust currently operates twelve primary schools across the Birmingham and Dudley areas of the West Midlands and intend to grow further over the coming years.
