We were established in 2010 with a single school.

We currently manage a family of 5 academies in North London, educating some 2,600 pupils.

Cuckoo Hall and Woodpecker Hall Academies are set to amalgamate and have had a single leadership team since September 2020.

Stronger Together - our new strategy for 2020-23

During 2019, we consulted on a new strategy to take us forward into the second decade of the Trust's existence.

The challenges ahead are significant for everyone involved in education. But the power of education
to transform lives is unquestionable and this is what motivates our Trustees. Everything we do is for
children.

What will we do over the next three years?

We plan to build on the strong culture we have developed and our track record of success, shaping a new strategy to deliver on our overarching mission to improve life chances.

We also want our children to have lifelong memories of the happy times they had with us, developing a love of learning, and remembering their teachers with fondness and as the role models who inspired them to reach for their dreams.

Addressing children’s whole needs while they are withus at such a key stage of their development – intellectual, emotional and physical - is critical. All children have gifts and we want them to achieve their full potential. Our role is to be bridge builders to opportunity. Excellence through equity is our goal.

We must continue to have the support of our parents in everything that we do. This partnership is fundamental to our success. Studies frequently show that 50% of a child’s achievement is influenced by their parents. We will also enhance our efforts to work with parents to encourage vital learning outside of the classroom and to ensure the current high standards of behaviour of children that are so important to a good education are maintained and strengthened.

The new strategy document sets out in detail some of our high-level objectives and priorities.
