We are here for you

We believe passionately, as a rural charitable Trust, that our children, in our villages, market and coastal towns, should be entitled to an education that celebrates the traditions of our communities, which recognises the history and values of our rural schools, their individuality and distinctiveness.

It was great to hear of up-to-date inspection information and real-life examples. It was especially good to 'cross pollinate' between authorities, academies and schools. I'll be highly recommending future events to Headteacher colleagues.

I had such a wonderful time during my internship, 3 weeks full of opportunities that I will never forget. I even got the opportunity to teach two full lessons! Everyone was very supportive and gave feedback both after the lesson and whilst I was planning it, which I really appreciated

Melbourne Primary’s approach to the teaching of reading has ensured our children have made exceptional progress, with results that put the school in the top five per cent nationally.

All our children across the trust can now benefit from this innovative work. Ofsted’s very positive response recognises the hard work of our children, colleagues and parents.

Studying for a NPQ has given me the knowledge, support, and confidence to explore and discuss pedagogical development with educational leaders from all over the country.
