About us

A warm welcome from our CEO

I am immensely proud to be Chief Executive of Spark Education Trust.

Spark reflects our purpose to ignite the potential in our young people, preparing them to be the trailblazers of tomorrow. Spark captures our bold vision to transform lives and develop young people who enjoy the present and are optimistic about the future.

Our offer to our community is ‘Learning for Life’. This is our promise to our children, young people and their families. We will not only ensure pupils achieve their academic potential, we will also provide rich experiences beyond the curriculum. As a group of schools, our purpose is to prepare young people for their lives and as Spark we maintain a relentless focus upon this. In doing so we will serve our communities ensuring the generations of the future have the skills to enable those communities to flourish.

Our vision is to ensure our young people enjoy their education and the lives that they are leading. Our mission is to create an environment in each of our schools for flourishing.

We have high expectations for everyone, aspiring to excellence in teaching and achieving impressive standards is all areas of school life. Success beyond the classroom in sport and the arts are features of life across our Trust.

For our staff we provide positive working environments, a commitment to the highest quality professional development, opportunities to collaborate to create excellence and encouragement to forge career success.

Trustees, governors and leaders collaborate closely to ensure excellence in all aspects of Spark Education Trust. We welcome the opportunity to engage and partner with schools as our Trust grows and develops. Our aims are to strengthen and secure existing structures, deliver successful outcomes and further expand welcoming schools who share our vision to join us.
