Welcome from Cathy Barr, CEO THE SHARED LEARNING TRUST
Thank you for your interest in our trust and academies
and for taking the time to explore this exciting opportunity that we are
excited to present to you.
I first began working for The Shared Learning
Trust, as Principal of The Stockwood Park Academy. Since then, the trust has
grown from strength to strength employing some 500 fantastic staff members who
serve over 4,000 children within our communities. It is my privilege to be the
CEO of our family of Academies and work with each Principal or Head of School
to ensure the best possible education in their own academy.
Our ethos is simple; to build a collaborative
partnership of academies that will provide exceptional educational provision,
both in and outside the classroom for all our children. Our academies ensure students are supported,
monitored and encouraged to pursue their aspirations through a wide range of
enrichment activities and initiatives. The experience will be challenging,
rewarding and memorable.
Students enjoy their time at our academies and
give back to the wider local community. They are role models and young leaders,
who contribute to the collegiate ethos with maturity.
