Pegasus is located just outside central Dudley at the intersection of several major roads and bus routes. It is the smallest secondary academy in the Trust with over 600 learners on roll.

Since the creation of the Trust, a large number of new senior staff have been appointed. There has been an extensive programme of refurbishment and investment in technology, and a considerable effort has gone into making the academy environment into something that inspires and motivates learners.

Pegasus is one of the fastest improving schools in Dudley, with learners making progress above the national average. GCSE grades have improved markedly, as has the proportion of learners achieving Grade 5 or higher in both English and Mathematics. The academy has an active Arts & Design department, effective support for learners with special educational needs (SEND), and a strong culture of safeguarding.

The Trust recognises that our staff are our most valuable asset, and investing in our people is a key strategic priority. An extensive program of staff development is operated within the school and across the Trust, extending to senior and middle leaders, aspiring leaders, and teaching and support staff.
