Academies Enterprise Trust

Our academy is part of Academies Enterprise Trust (AET).

Academies Enterprise Trust (AET) is a national family of schools dedicated to education that inspires all the young people in our care to choose to lead a remarkable life. It is our deeply held belief that every child has something remarkable to offer and we see it as our duty to help each and every child find this within themselves.

Inspiring each child to choose a remarkable life is the golden thread that binds us all together - the reason that despite our very different paths to AET, we are all part of one family.

Everything we do, every decision we make and the way in which we behave is focused on achieving that end goal and underpinned by our values.

Our Vision

Each and every child inspired to choose a Remarkable Life.

Our Mission

To gather and motivate inspirational people committed to delivering an excellent education that launches children into remarkable lives.

Our Values

Be Unusually Brave

At AET, we choose to be unusually brave. We're not afraid to challenge wrongs, to make the right call, even when it's both unusual and difficult to do so.

Discover Whats Possible

We are on the search for discovering what's possible. We look to create 'eureka moments' for our students, helping them discover a world of possibilities and opportunities.




Push The Limits

We always strive to push the limits. We don't settle for less than excellent and we won't allow our students to either. We resolve to overcome any self-imposed limits.

Be Big-hearted

We commit to being big-hearted. We choose to treat each other with kindness, warmth and care, believing that everybody matters and believing in one another.
