About

About Us Our school is proud to be part of Anthem Schools Trust. Anthem is an education charity that runs a group of state-funded primary and secondary schools to give children a better future. Our schools work in collaboration as one entity to improve and maintain high educational standards, experiences and outcomes across the Trust.

Our single legal and moral purpose is to advance education for public benefit. Anthem serves over 8,000 children and young people across the East Midlands, London and Thames Valley. Our vision is that by working together, we will create ambitious and successful schools in which every child thrives. Anthem schools are diverse and serve many different communities.

They are all united by a shared ambition for children and young people, which is underpinned by a commitment to integrity, collaboration and excellence. These values are brought to life through our schools own identities and approaches, creating thriving local schools that meet their communities needs. We believe in the benefits of working with others.

We actively encourage our schools to collaborate across the Trust and beyond, so that we all continually learn and improve.
