Bright Futures Educational Trust is a multi-academy trust set up in 2011. The Trust is made up of a richly diverse group of schools in Greater Manchester and Blackpool. We are passionate about working together within and beyond the Trust to achieve our aspirational vision: the best for everyone, the best from everyone. We are an organisation that is underpinned by values of: community, integrity and passion. In everything we do, we remember that we are accountable to the children, families and communities that we serve.
The current Chief Executive Officer, John Stephens, took up post in January 2017.
Our schools have their own identities, form
one organisation and have one employer, Bright Futures Educational
Trust. Bright Futures’ Board of Trustees maintains strategic oversight of
the Trust and delegates some of its responsibilities to the Executive Team,
Heads of School and local governing bodies. We place a high value on
integrity and probity and take seriously our accountabilities for making the
best use of public money. How decisions are made is described in our delegation
framework. You can find out more about the Trustees and the Executive
Team visit here AboutUs - Bright
Futures Educational Trust (bright-futures.co.uk)
The focus of the Exec team is to work with schools, providing high quality and timely guidance, leadership, challenge, and support. In addition to the executive team, we have central operations for finance, communications and marketing, HR, educational psychology, and digital technologies. Please see our website brochure which explains our central operations: Why-Join-Bright-Futures
At Bright Futures we take seriously our responsibilities to work with
the wider educational system in order to improve outcomes for all children and
young people. Bright Futures Professional Development Institute is another
important outward facing component of our organisation. Underneath this
umbrella we have several hubs. Bright Futures Training which provides
school improvement services and CPD to over 700 schools Bright Futures Training, a
North West Maths’ Hub NW1 Maths Hub, providing
mathematics training and coaching to 500 schools, and a SCITT (School Centred
Initial Teacher Training) Bright
Futures SCITT, which is the largest in the North
West. Within the Development Institute, Bright Futures also
has two Teaching School Hubs, serving Manchester,
Stockport, Salford, and Trafford. Bright
Futures Send Outreach is another service which we provide across
the Northwest. We have also been designated as an Early Years Stronger Practice
Hub to work across the North West as the Bright
Futures Early Years Hub.
Collaboration and strong relationships form one of the ‘commitments’ in
our Strategy and all components of the Bright Futures’ family work closely
together. Our Strategy was developed collaboratively and can be found on
our website: Our Strategy.
We pride ourselves on being 'A Great Place To
Work'. In order to get the best from our young people we invest in our
workforce, providing opportunities for people to work collaboratively, to share
best practice and to support and challenge one another; recognising that we are
always learning.
