About QUEST (A Church of England Schools Trust)
Welcome to QUEST Trust
At QUEST, we are proud to lead a growing family of schools united by a shared mission:
Supporting Young People from Early Years to Employment.
We are a Multi-Academy Trust rooted in kindness, respect, and compassion. Our commitment is to nurture inclusive, high-quality learning environments where every young person can thrive—academically, emotionally, and socially. We recognise and celebrate the unique potential in every child, equipping them with the knowledge, character, and real-world skills they need to succeed in life.
Our work is built on strong relationships—with pupils, staff, families, churches, businesses, and communities. Together, we create a supportive network that empowers individuals and builds futures. From Nursery to Sixth Form, we guide learners on a lifelong journey of growth, service, and achievement.
We are passionate about:
- Delivering personalised, inclusive education tailored to each learner’s needs
- Creating safe, welcoming schools where children feel a true sense of belonging
- Investing in our people—pupils, staff, and leaders—to drive excellence across the Trust
- Building long-term partnerships that strengthen our communities and extend our impact
As we grow, we remain focused on our values and vision. Whether you are a parent, educator, or potential partner, we invite you to join us on this QUEST—for learning, for opportunity, and for a better future for all.
