ABOUT US
Igniting Potential . Shaping the Future.
Louise Spellman
“At Spark Education Trust, we exist to ignite the potential in young people and prepare them to be the trailblazers of tomorrow.
We believe in education that goes beyond exams—one that equips young people with the skills, confidence, and ambition to thrive in life. Through innovation, collaboration, and bold ambition, we create learning environments where students don’t just succeed academically but grow into leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers who will shape the future.”
Our Purpose
“Ignite the potential in young people and prepare them to be the trailblazers of tomorrow.”
Everything we do is guided by this core belief. We exist to inspire, empower, and equip young people with the skills and mindset they need to thrive in an ever-changing world. Education should spark curiosity, confidence, and ambition – helping every learner discover their potential and pursue their aspirations with determination and optimism.
OUR Vision
“Informed young people enjoying the present and being optimistic for their future.”
We want to see young people thriving today while feeling excited and prepared for what comes next. Education should not just be about the next test or qualification—it should instill a lifelong love of learning, a sense of purpose, and the confidence to take on the world. We work to ensure that every student leaves our schools ready for life, with the knowledge, skills, and resilience to forge their own path.
Our Mission
We believe that the right environment unlocks potential. That’s why we are committed to:
Providing high-quality education that supports every learner to achieve their best.
Creating dynamic, inspiring school communities where students feel valued, supported, and motivated to excel.
Equipping young people with real-world skills to help them thrive in education, careers, and life beyond the classroom.
Encouraging ambition, creativity, and innovation, so that students don’t just dream about the future—they shape it.
Our Values
We are driven by three core values that define how we work and what we stand for:
Mutual Respect
We are inclusive of all. We listen, we collaborate, and we grow together.
Hearty Collaboration
We believe in the power of partnership. We share knowledge, support each other, and succeed together.
Courageous Ambition
We strive for excellence. We push boundaries, challenge conventions, and set new standards in education.
A Bold, Transformational Approach to Education
At Spark, we do things differently.
We are a bold and inventive education trust that believes in the power of transformational learning. We don’t just teach subjects—we inspire futures. We don’t just follow traditional education models—we redefine what’s possible.
We believe in Learning for Life – where education is not just about knowledge but about developing the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Because the future belongs to those who are ready to shape it.
