Castle Phoenix Trust’s strength lies in our commitment to collaborate and share excellent practice between all our schools. Our unique offer is one of growing leaders. We nurture new and inexperienced leaders and provide opportunities for children and staff to demonstrate their leadership skills. We value inspirational leadership and the value this brings to our Trust.

We have a long history of leadership development through national leadership programmes, bespoke leadership development and training and includes headteacher events tailored to meet their needs. We have a dedicated virtual Leading Learning Academy which schools use to challenge their thinking as leaders. We want teachers to enjoy their learning journey and to be supported to perfect their teaching so that together we can better meet the needs of all our learners. Our online platform offers many exciting resources to complement our courses.

Our Trust has 6 ambitions which we believe are the foundation for school and children’s life long success. Our schools drive school improvement through these ambitions.

We embrace our mantra:

Schools become part of our Trust because they know we value their local community and recognise the part their school can play to ensure all children leave our schools more confident as learners and optimistic about their future. Schools within our Trust our proud of their community and history and retain their own identity.

As a Trust, we continue to provide an efficient, effective central team who are able to be highly responsive to the needs of our schools. School Improvement is key and we endeavour to ensure the highest proportion of our expenditure is focused on this area.
