We are a Multi-Academy Trust with seven schools based in Staffordshire and Derbyshire. We educate more than 5,500 children and young people between the ages of 3 and 19 and employ 650 members of staff.
In 2024, we embarked on an exciting journey to explore our strengths and to understand how we can put ourselves in the best position to embrace the opportunities that await us. As part of that, we came together as a community to redefine our identity.
The definition of Affinity is ‘a natural liking for and understanding of someone or something.’ This struck everyone at the Trust as reflecting the real and genuine commitment that we have to building a partnership, drawn together by a shared ethos and a commitment to academic excellence.
This is an exciting time to consider joining our Trust as we work on establishing our new identity and implementing our Trust-wide strategy, which was launched in September 2024. We are also in the process of redefining our People Strategy to ensure it aligns with and supports our overarching objectives.
Our Purpose:
Where everyone belongs, progresses and thrives.
These are more than just words. They are the framework for how we hold ourselves, and each other, to account and ensure that we thrive as a community. The three elements of our purpose, known as our pillars, each have their own separate meaning, rationale and identity.
Belongs
We advocate and nurture inclusivity, connectedness and wellbeing by creating opportunities for all and forging a sense of community.
This ensures our pupils are safe and prepared for the wider world outside of education, our staff feel empowered, our governors excel in their roles and our partnerships flourish.
Progresses
We are an exemplary provider of education, upholding and developing high standards of attainment and progress for all pupils.
All of our schools deliver quality teaching and learning, underpinned by our aspirational and enriching curriculum. This is enabled by skilled support and business professionals.
Thrives
We are outward facing, shaping and leading positive change within education for the benefit of all. We empower staff, pupils and our wider communities to be agents of change both now and in the future.
We actively seek to grow our Trust where it supports all in our community to achieve, grow and develop.
