Welcome to The Primary First Trust

At The Primary First Trust, we put people first — our pupils, our colleagues, and our school communities. Each of our schools is unique, with its own character and strengths, and we are proud to celebrate and preserve this individuality.

As part of our Trust, schools benefit from genuine collaboration, shared expertise, and a deep understanding of primary education. Our proven track record of school improvement and our strong, supportive culture give us a distinctive edge in helping every school—and every colleague—thrive.

We are committed to giving children the very best start in life. Through a robust school development framework and expert Trust services, we work tirelessly to strengthen our schools and enhance the experiences of the pupils and staff within them.

Great education starts with great people. That’s why we invest in, develop, and value our staff at every stage of their journey.
