Making a positive impact

By working together and supporting one another, good things happen for everyone involved with our family of schools – from children and staff to partner organisations and our wider community.

"As a parent of two children attending Eggbuckland Vale Primary School I have experienced first hand the nurturing and supportive environment that has always encouraged high standards of achievement. I have no hesitation in recommending the school to new parents and their children as a place they can be confident will take their child from strength to strength."

"A sense of a wider team and support network. You never feel on your own as you are surrounded by knowledge and expertise."

"We want the best for everyone who works in Connect Academy Trust. For our children to thrive, our staff need to feel confident, valued and encouraged in their roles. To that end, the Trust is committed to developing a professional learning community, where everyone has the right to be nurtured. We also want the best people to be working in Trust, so we develop talent and strength from within, whilst also being keen to bring in outstanding people from outside the Trust."

Sarah Ryder

School Improvement Lead at Connect

"As a new headteacher into the trust, I value the collaborative ethos that runs through the central and leadership team. This allows me to utilise the expertise of the colleagues beyond our school."

Susie Carroll

Headteacher

"I had such a lovely and positive experience! The staff members were very friendly and helpful, they gave up a lot of their time to speak with me and gave me lots of useful information. This was really appreciated and meant we could speak to ensure that we have a good action plan in place."
