As Chair of the Trust Board, I am pleased to introduce you to our Business Plan for 2024-2025.
This Business Plan sets out very clearly our determination to support and challenge our schools to provide the best possible educational experience for all the children by having a creative and aspirational curriculum and the highest quality teaching.
This plan charts our journey to excellence for all and I recommend it to you.
