I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all the children, staff, governors and parents to the beginning of a new academic year as part of The Societas Trust’s family of academies.

The Societas Trust is unique, it is the result of the collaboration between the headteachers and governing boards of five primary academies who share a belief that the needs of children are best met when schools and teachers collaborate and cooperate and are able to maintain close links with the communities they serve.

Our vision is – “To create a sustainable, professional community where all learners are valued and encouraged to achieve their potential, and all individuals are respected.”

Whilst it is crucial for us to support the development of the unique identity of each academy in the partnership, we also believe that, by developing and promoting innovative and creative approaches to learning and teaching across the trust, we will ensure that our children have the very best opportunities to excel academically and develop socially.

We passionately believe that children learn best and thrive in environments that promote and foster self-belief, the love of learning and high expectations of themselves and others.

Going forward, this year and beyond, the academies that comprise The Societas Trust will continue to build on their many and varied achievements, and I would like to extend my very best wishes to all the pupils, staff, governors and parents for their future successes.
