About SGS Academy Trust

We are an inclusive and ambitious family that always puts our students first.

SGS Academy Trust was formed in December 2014. We are a family of three unique schools, united in our commitment to excellence for all children and young people. Our schools are safe spaces, in which diversity is a strength and where there are no barriers to success. Each school within the Trust offers a unique educational provision with its own Leadership Team and Local School Board. We work together under the leadership of the Trust Board and central team to support our schools to provide the best quality experience for all of our students.

Governance

Our Purpose

We exist so that every student has the best education and every community has the best school.

Our Priorities

We have three strategic priorities for 2024-2027:

  1. Providing an effective, inclusive and ambitious education.
  2. Being an employer of choice and a community anchor.
  3. Securing our future as a thriving and growing trust.

Our Values

The Board of Trustees welcomes applications from individuals of all cultural backgrounds and diverse skills and experiences, and actively encourages the recruitment of Trustees from all parts of the community.

Inclusive: We want everyone in our Trust to feel they belong.

Ambitious: We want everyone in our Trust to fulfil their potential.

Fearless: We want everyone in our Trust to be true to themselves.

Our Committees

Our dedicated committees support our key initiatives and operations. Each of our committee typically focuses on a specific area to ensure effective governance and accountability within the trust:

Finance and Audit   Phil Eames, Committee Chair

In addition to our committee, each school also operates under the guidance of a local school board. This board plays a crucial role in shaping school policies, overseeing administration, and ensuring that the educational needs of the community are effectively met. Comprising members from the local area, the school board acts as a bridge between the school and its broader community, bringing local insight and accountability to decision-making processes.
