Welcome from our CEO

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our Trust website. We are a Multi-Academy Trust with a diverse family of primary and secondary schools across Staffordshire and Derbyshire. 

At the heart of our approach is a clear and uncompromising purpose: to cultivate a Trust where everyone belongs, progresses, and thrives. These pillars serve as both our framework and our moral compass:

• Belongs: We advocate for inclusivity, connectedness, and wellbeing, ensuring our pupils feel safe, our staff feel empowered, and our community partnerships flourish.

• Progresses: We maintain exemplary standards of teaching and learning, supported by an aspirational curriculum that enables every individual to achieve their potential.

• Thrives: We are outward-facing, driving positive educational change and empowering our pupils and staff to act as agents of progress in the wider world.

Delivering on this commitment requires strategic clarity and operational excellence. Our central support model is designed to remove unnecessary barriers, enabling our leaders to lead, our teachers to teach, and our pupils to learn.

As we look to the future, we are seeking to grow our Trust and extend our impact. We invite dedicated professionals, prospective schools, and strategic partners who share our ethos to join us and be part of this next chapter.

I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our work and vision. Should you wish to discuss how you can contribute to or collaborate with the Affinity Learning Partnership, please do not hesitate to contact us.
