Olympus Academy Trust

Welcome from the Chief Executive Officer

 

As CEO of the Trust, I work with all our academies to provide the best possible educational opportunities for young people in the local area.


We encourage members of staff and students from our schools to work closely together.

We invest in creating shared leadership roles across the Trust in order to ensure consistency and the sharing of good practice. The Olympus Academy Trust is an opportunity to build on our well-established local links within the community and within the Trust in which students learn together with students from the other centres and have done for a number of years.

As a Trust, we are responsible and accountable for the education of more than 6500 students between the ages of 3 and 19 and for the employment and support of approximately 800 staff in 10 schools (and one more yet to open).

In all our schools I enjoy seeing our dedicated and innovative staff teams work with each successive cohort of students to shape the culture and ethos of our schools so that each individual feels valued and has the opportunity to contribute. We look forward to getting to know our new students each year and seeing them grow in confidence as they settle in.

Our vision is to establish our schools at the heart of the community and to equip our students to be responsible individuals who are able to make a meaningful contribution to society. I am confident that our academy partnership enables us to offer the best learning experience for all associated with us in the local area. Visitors often comment on the positive relationships and the enthusiasm for learning they see in our schools, both of which are very important to us; we hope you will experience the inclusive atmosphere and feel welcome if you visit.

Schools in the Trust

Each of our schools has its own unique identity within the values and ethos of the Trust. Headteachers are responsible for their school and accountable for outcomes. Being part of a group of schools brings with it robust challenge and support as well as opportunities to share provision and central costs.

There are Headteachers in each school who are responsible for the day-to-day running of our schools as follows:

Each of our schools has its own unique identity within the values and ethos of Olympus. Headteachers are responsible for their school and accountable for outcomes. Being part of a group of schools brings with it robust challenge and support as well as opportunities to share provision and central costs.

The name Olympus originates from the Olympus Concorde engine. This is significant because it was designed and produced locally and therefore links to our vision of providing an excellent standard of education for all children and families in our area.

As a local organisation, we exist for the benefit of the communities we serve.

We are always keen to work with other schools, primary and secondary, encouraging them to join the partnership to develop and strengthen our local educational offer.
