WELCOME TO THE KEYS ACADEMY TRUST
We are a well-established specialist primary school multi academy trust committed to providing the very best educational experiences for our pupils and staff.
The Trust is made up of a family of distinctive schools rooted at the heart of the communities they serve and all our schools aspire to excellent learning and pastoral care for pupils and staff.
Within the Trust, our schools teach a broad, balanced and rich curriculum designed to inspire our pupils to learn and gain an experience of “life in all its fullness”.
Our Central Team provides HR, finance and admin support to each school which allows Headteachers to focus on the delivery of a high-quality education.
In line with our Christian ethos, we are committed to being open and welcoming to all schools.

WELCOME FROM THE CEO
We are a growing family of high performing schools that support each other, share best practice and resources.
Our school leaders regularly experience the benefits this brings to all in our school communities. Life within The Keys invites collaboration across schools, formation of alliances, and negotiation of differences for the common good so that the schools within the Trust can give their children the very best educational outcomes.
What sets our Trust apart from others is that we recognise that each school is unique and distinctive and we are committed to schools retaining their own ethos, curriculum and identity as we believe they know and understand how best to serve their local community. Our Central
Team provides support and builds staff skills in finance, HR and administration which in turn reduces workload for our schools. Our Director of Teaching, Learning and School Improvement offers tailored School Improvement for each school and provides high quality CPDL based on the latest education research.
The Trust continues to grow and has a strong reputation within our local area. We have an inclusive approach to all families and all schools and we welcome expressions of interest from community primary schools alongside Church of England Voluntary Aided (VA) and Voluntary Controlled (VC) schools.
WELCOME FROM OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Thank you for your interest in The Keys Academy Trust.
We hope you enjoy finding out more about The Keys and our vision and values. As Trustees we are very proud of the way in which each of our schools serves its own community and how they retain their own traditions and uniqueness while benefiting from the opportunity to share experience, expertise and best practice to achieve the best outcomes for all of our children. As a Trustee Board we continue to be impressed with the commitment of all our staff and the way in
which our family of schools demonstrate their flexibility, creativity and resourcefulness. As a Trust we are outward looking, ambitious and innovative.
We look forward to welcoming more schools into our Trust where there will be many opportunities to work together, share good practice and encourage one another.
