We are more than a School, more than a Trust!
At Dudley Academies Trust, we are proud to offer a family of schools where children are known, supported and encouraged to achieve their very best from the earliest years through to the next stage of their education.
Since the Trust was formed, we have taken or retained every school within our family to Ofsted rated ‘Good’ or higher, or to the new equivalent standard. This reflects our strong track record of school improvement, our high expectations and our unwavering belief that every child deserves an excellent education.
- A successful family of cross-phase schools: Our primary and secondary academies work together as one Trust, sharing expertise, resources and best practice so that pupils benefit from a strong, connected education.
- Expert support for teaching and learning: Our schools are supported by a team of subject directors and subject coaches — teachers who are experts in their subjects and who work closely with our teachers and pupils to strengthen learning in the classroom.
- Exceptional staff: We help our schools recruit high-quality teaching and support staff who share our ambition for every child and who are committed to helping pupils succeed.
- Shared best practice: Across the Trust, teachers collaborate, learn from one another and share what works best in the classroom, helping to raise standards for all learners.
- High expectations and strong learner support: We combine ambition with care, providing highly effective support in and out of the classroom, with a strong emphasis on mental health, wellbeing and helping every learner feel safe, valued and ready to learn.
- Personal development as well as results: We focus on developing the whole child, with an excellent careers programme and a wide range of activities designed to nurture talents, build self-belief and help pupils prepare for their future.
- Investment in excellent learning environments: We have made multi-million-pound investments in our buildings, IT and facilities, ensuring pupils and staff have the spaces and resources they need to thrive.
- The latest learning technologies: Our schools benefit from modern digital tools and learning technologies that support teaching, engagement and achievement.
- Values Driven Expectations: We use a tried and tested approach to positive behaviour, helping learners understand expectations, make good choices and stay motivated to achieve their best.
When you choose a Dudley Academies Trust school, your child becomes part of a wider community that is ambitious for them and committed to helping them thrive. We work together to create inspirational schools where young people are proud to belong, excited to learn and ready for the future.
