Welcome to Westcountry Schools Trust
Thank you for considering a career with Westcountry Schools Trust (WeST). This is an exciting time to join us. Our Trust brings together 31 schools across South Devon, Plymouth and Cornwall, with plans for further growth in the years ahead. Each school proudly retains its local identity, yet we are united by one mission:
Empowering ALL children to make a positive impact on society.
Our vision is simple but powerful:
Every child achieving in a great school.
At WeST, we strive for academic excellence because we know that great outcomes create life chances and opportunities for young people. High expectations are at the heart of our work, and inclusivity remains central to everything we do.
We are moving towards a clustering model, enabling schools to retain their autonomy and distinctiveness while benefiting from the collective strength and support of a wider family. This interconnectedness is the backbone of how we work: quietly providing essential support so schools can focus on what matters most—enabling teachers to be excellent in the classroom.
What binds us together is not uniformity, but a shared set of values:
Collaboration, Aspiration, Integrity, Compassion, and Respect—showing due consideration for the thoughts, feelings and beliefs of others.
As part of WeST, you will help shape the Trust’s future direction, work alongside expert colleagues, and join a cross-phase family committed to giving children the very best start in life. There can be no greater privilege than working with such wonderful pupils and dedicated staff, whose passion drives everything we do.
Explore our vacancies and take the next step in your career with Westcountry Schools Trust.
