Our Principles

Unique Schools with a shared collective purpose

Working with diverse schools across phases, each with its unique character but sharing MITRE values.

Collaboration, care, inclusivity and challenge

Our principles are at the heart of our learning community.

Founded on Christian principles and fully inclusive

All schools are welcome, regardless of their denomination. Our schools strive for moral and academic excellence.

Striving for excellence

We support schools to do their best for children: academically, pastorally and spiritually.

Time to learn and teach

Central services focus on delivering for schools so they can deliver for their pupils.

Who we are

The trust was formed by a committed group of schools in and around the town of Southwell, Nottinghamshire.  These schools have worked as a close family for many years and wish to continue their work together as a multi-academy trust to both secure and continue to improve the quality of education in the local area,  welcoming other schools who share a similar philosophy.
