As Chief Executive Officer, it is my absolute privilege to welcome you to Excel Learning Trust.
I became a teacher because I want to give every child the opportunity to change the world. I became CEO for the same reason. You can read more about how Excel Learning Trust supports and encourages our children and staff to fulfil their potential through a huge range of incredible opportunities and experiences.
I really hope you enjoy finding out more about our Trust. If you would like more information or would like to arrange a visit, please get in touch.
We think our Trust is unique. We want all of our schools to be distinctive and we also think carefully, collaboratively and clearly about what defines us as a Trust.
In other words, our schools should be the centre of – and focussed on – the community they serve. They should also be better for being part of our Trust; our children should have a better school experience because they attend an Excel Learning Trust school.
Whether you’re a parent, a prospective candidate or another educational establishment, we hope you enjoy finding out more about us. We warmly welcome visitors to any of our schools – please get in touch if you would like to arrange a visit.
As a trust, we work tirelessly to ensure that all children experience educational excellence every day so that they can change the world.
If your values and ethos align with ours, we’d love to hear from you!

Our inclusive curriculum means that all children are taught the most important knowledge, in the most appropriate sequence, to enable them to succeed. For young people attending our primary, junior and secondary schools, we provide an accessible and enjoyable educational experience, develop life-long skills and offer a wealth of rich experiences to enhance the curriculum.
Across our curriculum, each stage is carefully planned to prepare for the next. Curriculum planning focuses on core and subject content knowledge to enable knowledge recall, fluency, automaticity and deep understanding. Expert subject specific planning across all subjects in parallel with an absolute focus on personal development, ensures we clearly define what children learn across each year and realise our vision of ensuring excellence.
The scope of our curriculum in all areas is at least as ambitious as the National Curriculum at each stage so that our children can meet or exceed age-related national expectations and progress well to their next phase of education.
Across our curriculum, we decide on the most important knowledge required in each subject at each stage and our teachers effectively adapt schemes of learning to meet the needs of students in their classes. The Excel Learning Trust approach ensures that schools and teachers have absolute flexibility in their curriculum; taking into consideration local context, alongside parent and child choice and needs within our offer and design. Our schools robustly plan to best secure our children’s learning and progress and provide educational excellence for every child, every day.
