About Areté Learning Trust
WELCOME TO OUR TRUST
Thank you for your interest in the Areté Learning Trust. The Trust was established in April 2015 when Stokesley School converted to an academy. We are now a growing Multi-Academy Trust consisting of 11 schools (six secondary schools and five primary schools).
This is an exciting time on the next step of the journey for Areté Learning Trust and provides the opportunity to establish an even stronger trust, with greater autonomy to set direction and deliver the outcomes important to all of us. The trust is committed to inclusive high-quality education, providing outstanding education for all and trust wide sustained school improvement.
Each school within our trust has its own unique values and ethos and is committed to the overarching principle of "Being the best we can be", the mission statement of Areté Learning Trust . Our Trust seeks to create a context for all children and young people to thrive, academically, personally and socially so that they experience the real joy of learning.
In an educational climate where things are constantly changing, we want to innovate, collaborate, stay true to our values and work with others who are similarly committed to helping all young people, whatever their starting point, to be the best they can be. We always put our learners first and have a deep commitment to developing our team through top-quality CPD and staff development opportunities, cross-trust collaboration, and collaboration on a regional and national level. Our ethos is based upon a fully inclusive approach to education, high expectations, a clear focus on outstanding teaching and learning and making sure that we meet the needs of every learner and fulfil their potential. We are determined to be at the forefront of the pursuit of excellence in education and welcome any collaboration which will support us in this endeavour.
"The Trust embraces who you are and gives you appropriate challenges - we're allowed to make mistakes in order to grow." Donna-Marie Brosnan (Assistant Headteacher of Behaviour, Attitudes at Northallerton School & Sixth Form College)
"I'm in constant communication with the Trust's Operations Officer to see whether we require any training specific to our role." Jon Giddens (Maintenance Manager at Richmond School)
"I've always wanted to develop as a teacher. In previous schools, I was kind of left to my own devices. But here at Areté, they have a good structure of development" Ashleigh Powell (Maths Teacher at Northallerton School)
"Here, everybody works collaboratively to achieve the goal of being the best we can be" Mick Fenwick (Headteacher at Stokesley School)
"I found a supportive management team, an incredible set of colleagues, and the opportunity to develop in my career through fantastic CPD." Michael Cadell (History & Geography Teacher at Northallerton School)
"The best part of the journey has been working with professionals who are excited about education" Rebecca Bainbridge (Headteacher at Mill Hill Primary)
"The Trust significantly helped me progress in my career. Whenever I was stuck in my new senior role, I had people to turn to for support" Tom Braham (Assistant Headteacher at Richmond School)
"I've seen how the Trust has grown in experience and size, and it's been a great opportunity to work with a great team of people. It encourages you to work independently while knowing that you have the backup of a team, should you need it!" Ceri Dennis (Admin Manager at Richmond School)
