Welcome, we are a research-informed and dynamic Multi-Academy Trust.

Our academies are based in Hampshire, West Sussex and Portsmouth. We have chosen to form partnerships and work together because we are passionate and unapologetic about learning. We only want to draw on the best of what is known so that we can help shape the futures of those we work with and teach.

Our University of Chichester sponsor means we will always have strong roots in academic study, are constantly questioning and exploring new and old ideas and practices. Why? Because it’s exactly what our children and young people need and deserve through a great education.

All of our people, from catering and premises teams, to our early years staff and finance professionals know the importance of being research-informed. We all want the best for every child, no matter what part of the Trust and University we work in.

As CEO, I ensure that everything we do allows our children and young people to Achieve More, Challenge Thinking and Shape Futures. This is why every year we invest in the professional development, staff training and support for all of our people. I value the contribution everyone makes to our Trust Mission, now and in the future, and so it’s important that we invest in them as they navigate their own career pathways.

Being at the forefront of research means that every decision will be informed by the best of what is known, for the benefit of all.

As a Teaching Assistant in this Trust, I have been given so many opportunities to engage in research and this term I have been able to lead the way we have developed oracy in our academy.

Research isn’t just about academic study and findings, it’s how we think, question and behave as an organisation.
