About The Sigma Trust

At The Sigma Trust, we believe every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential. We offer an education that sparks curiosity, builds resilience, and equips students with the skills to face the future confidently. Committed to leaving no child or school behind, our shared values and vision guide us in providing an enriched educational experience that helps students uncover their passions and lead fulfilling lives.

The Greek letter Sigma (Σ), meaning "the sum of," perfectly reflects our philosophy: we achieve more together than individually. Through collaboration and shared best practices, we create opportunities that benefit all students and staff within our Trust.

Established in 2016, The Sigma Trust has flourished into a partnership of 12 schools across North East Essex, proudly serving approximately 11,500 pupils and their communities. Over 1,700 dedicated staff members share our vision and support this endeavour.

Our distinctive approach, with no single lead school, emphasises collaboration.
