The Academies for Character and Excellence has seventeen Primary Schools and three Pre-schools making up a dynamic and innovative learning organisation.
We live our mission of Excellence through Cultivating Character, Sharing Talents and Pursuing Innovation, and return to this constantly to help guide every action.
At the heart of all we do is the pursuit of excellence; we want to grow an exceptional trust, comprised of excellent schools.
We are achieving this through our shared core values of Collaboration, Community, Integrity, Equity, and of course Uncompromising Excellence.
We are truly collaborative and we work together within, and across, our schools to ensure that all our children and members of staff achieve their potential.
Together we work to create a full and rich curriculum offer allowing everyone to flourish - we translate our vision of excellence into our every-day practice.
We are proud of our successful learning outcomes, but we aspire to achieve more than just academic excellence for our children.
We also want our children to become successful learners, healthy thinkers, curious explorers, caring citizens, knowledgeable participants and confident individuals.
We are ideally seeking individuals that have previous experience within the catering sector and welcome enthusiastic individuals who are looking to develop within the catering industry.
