The First Federation Trust

About The First Federation Trust


Welcome from our Chief Executive and Trust Lead

Starting life as a small group of South Devon schools in 2006, today First Federation Trust has grown into a well-established multi-academy trust with a family of 29 primary schools across Devon, Plymouth and West Dorset. As a Trust, we celebrate the diversity and distinctiveness of each primary school while benefiting from working collaboratively, sharing our collective experience, and providing support and inspiration to one another.

Our main purpose is to provide the best education for all while encouraging every individual to aspire, flourish and achieve within their community, now and in the future. 

Each school is supported by our central team, whose wide range of skills and expertise include finance, HR, marketing, governance, safeguarding, legal and more. The team offers a range of services to each school, ensuring they can focus on their core task of teaching and learning.

We seek to enhance the provision and maintain or improve standards at all our schools, while enabling them to maintain their individual identities and the freedom to shape and deliver a curriculum that reflects their school’s values and the aspirations of the children they serve.

You can find out more about the primary schools in our trust here.

Why work for us

First Federation Trust’s strengths lie in its partnership culture – one of working in collaboration, both within our schools, and outside our Trust with other educational colleagues and settings, to bring about the most positive outcomes for all our pupils.

Whatever role or level, we are committed to supporting staff in their professional development and offer a wide range of benefits including:

  • Professional and career development pathways, coaching and mentoring.
  • Fast-track process to explore new opportunities across the trust family of schools.
  • Teacher or Local Government Pension Scheme.
  • Access to a free and confidential employee wellbeing programme.
  • Tax-free cycle-to-work scheme.

If you would like to find out more about us, take a look at our website or follow us on Twitter or LinkedIn. Alternatively, feel free to get in touch by email or telephone (01626) 244920.
