Welcome by Nikki Edwards, CEO
I would like to welcome you to this brief introduction to our Trust offer for all of our schools. Our driving force is to ensure every school within our Trust provides an excellent education for every child, enhanced by a distinctively Christian ethos.
We want to provide every child with an excellent education of the mind, body and spirit through: a creative, innovative, engaging curriculum underpinned by the Christian values of kindness, respect, forgiveness, perseverance and love; an education with the highest aspirations and expectations of academic success where learning focuses on and values developing children’s characters and qualities as human beings.
Our Trust was established in 2012. We have more than 40 schools, ranging in size from fewer than 50 to more than 400 pupils, covering the 0-11 age range. These schools are clustered into four hubs in North Somerset, Bath, Taunton and South Somerset, and are located within market towns as well as more rural communities.
I hope you get a flavour for everything we represent and, most importantly, our aspirations for every child.
The short video below contains reflections from a group of headteachers, representing schools big and small, urban and rural. Please have a listen.
