The Sigma Trust
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.
