We are a family of academies who share one vision. To provide the highest quality education for young people in the communities we serve.

Our vision extends beyond our Trust. We aim to contribute to the broader regeneration of our region by empowering our students to have high aspirations, achieve excellent outcomes and enjoy learning.

We are committed to continually developing all staff so that they have high levels of satisfaction and are motivated to provide the best possible teaching and support to our students. Our academies share one vision and implement the same policies, but each has its own unique identity.

We have a strong culture of teamwork, high expectations and insist on high standards for all. Both academies have been evaluated as 'good' in all areas by Ofsted.

Sandhill View (Ofsted September 2021): ‘Leaders have put in a place an ambitious curriculum to challenge pupils and encourage them to aim high… Curriculum leaders have organised the topics in each subject so that pupils can build on what they already know. Pupils learn effectively in lessons because they enjoy learning, and their behaviour is good.’

Southmoor (Ofsted September 2022):
Leaders at Southmoor Academy have created a welcoming culture with high ambition for the pupils. Pupils and teachers get along very well. Behaviour in school is positive. There is very little low-level disruption. This means that teachers can teach uninterrupted. Staff enjoy working at the school and they are proud to work here. There is a strong sense of teamwork.

Staff recognise the efforts that leaders have made to manage workload.

Southmoor 16-19 study:
Students are mature and sensible. Current students in Years 12 and 13 are making good progress on their chosen courses because teaching is consistently good and members of staff are on hand to support them every step of the way.
