Above all else, we encourage pupils to be ambitious for themselves, their families and their communities.

· - Wolverhampton – two primary schools, three secondary schools and three special schools, including Wolverhampton Vocational and Training Centre, a special provision for Post 16 students

· - an employer with a passion for education; encouraging staff and students alike to ‘take risks’, to develop new ideas and to innovate.
