We are now rated one of the highest-performing primary trusts in the country

Now rated one of the highest-performing primary trusts in the country – and serving one of the most challenging contexts

The newly published government performance tables place North Star Community Trust joint fourth nationally among multi-academy trusts at Key Stage 2.

Across our three primary schools, 88% of pupils met the expected standard in 2025.

What makes this particularly significant is the context:

• 51% of pupils are disadvantaged

• 65% speak English as an additional language

• 23% have identified special educational needs

When broken down further, the trust is top nationally for disadvantaged pupils, for pupils with English as an additional language and for pupils with SEN.

Nationally, these characteristics are statistically associated with lower attainment.

We are proud of our children, our staff and the communities we serve.

If you are a teacher, leader or support colleague who believes in high expectations and making a real difference, we are always keen to hear from talented professionals who want to work in a values-driven trust.
