“We spend a lot of time celebrating the success of our students and our recently appointed chief executive officer, Claire-Marie Cuthbert, is passionate about investing and rewarding staff.

“Along with the other two headteachers, Adrian O’Malley at Beech and Simon Sharp at Bramble, we had a very difficult task to nominate staff from the fantastic pool of teaching and associate staff across the trust academies”

Ms Cuthbert said: “The trust recognises its staff are its greatest asset and without their outstanding contribution, students would not achieve their potential and develop the skills needed to succeed and enjoy life.”
