Springfield is a founding member of a successful mixed-phase school trust, The De Curci Trust, and works positively and creatively with its partner schools.  Central to the Trust's vision is the promotion of high aspirations and the achievement of excellent outcomes for children.  The Trust fosters an optimistic, outward-looking and positive culture in which staff are valued and supported to develop professionally.  We celebrate diversity and are committed to equality and inclusion.  High quality professional development is an entitlement for all staff; a number of progression routes exist for teaching and support staff.
