Create Partnership Trust was established in Birmingham in September 2016. We are four primary schools across Birmingham. Greet Primary and Conway Primary, which were federated in 2009, formed the Trust initially. Hodge Hill Primary joined in January 2017 followed by Brookfields Primary in November 2018.

The uniqueness of each school is respected and celebrated by the Trust, but we also seek ways of working collaboratively - sharing best practice, solving common challenges and moving forward together.

Our mission is based on an innovative approach to supporting schools:

 To create the best teachers

To create the best leaders

To create the best education

·         To create the best opportunities for our children

Our aim is to create the best possible education for disadvantaged children in Birmingham by:

• Creating an innovative central team with capacity to support school leaders with all aspects of school improvement and school leadership
• Creating a collaborative approach to school improvement with a strong partnership between the Trust and the schools and between the school staff across the Trust
• Creating ambitious schools with aspirational outcomes for children
• Creating a culture of integrity between the Trust and the schools where every person is valued; people work with kindness and a moral purpose and each school's unique character is celebrated
