Who is Shaw Education Trust?

 

Shaw Education Trust is a growing multi academy trust sponsored by Shaw Trust. They lead and manage academies in all phases, all sectors and in all communities.

 

They believe that every child should have the opportunity to be successful whatever their starting point. They pledge an unswerving commitment to improve, accelerate and enable ambitious life goals among all young people in our academies.

 

To ensure that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential, whatever that might be, the Shaw Education Trust expect each of their academies to be good or outstanding within two years of joining the Trust. They don't believe in prescribing a curriculum; instead they support their academies to offer a curriculum that deepens knowledge, develops skills and fires the curiosity of students. They also expect each Academy to offer a range of support that addresses life after school, develops students' independence and helps them to prepare for university and the world of work.

 

Senior leaders at each Academy have the support of a core team and commissioned experts to provide high quality teacher training and development to staff to ensure they are continually developing their good practice. The Shaw Education Trust also encourage collaboration within and between their academies to create a community of professionals with a wide range of valuable experience and specialist knowledge to share. Integrity and transparency underpin their accountability approach. They believe in earned autonomy for their academies, with the Trust Board providing the appropriate level of challenge and support - as well as oversight - to each. Local accountability is supported through a system of Academy Councils, with representatives of the whole school community in membership.
