Welcome to Ivy Education Trust

Our Trust is driven by the visions and values that influence everything we do, how we behave and what we are collectively seeking to achieve, creating a culture of support and challenge…

Courage… be bold, take chances and seize opportunities

Compassion… be kind to self, be kind to others and take care of the world around us

Collaboration… we are stronger together and support others

Commitment… to work hard, to give it everything and to never give up

…whilst preserving and celebrating the unique qualities of our three nurseries, five primary and three secondary schools.

Our schools are committed to providing ‘Ivy children’ with a broad, balanced, enriching and ambitious curriculum, empowering futures and ensuring they may develop the character and qualifications needed to open doors.

Our Trust is driving school improvement in pursuit of excellence, through growing great people, financial health and sustainability and operational efficiency.

The schools are at the heart of our communities – and we place our communities at the heart of the schools.
