Founded in 2012, REAch2 Academy Trust is the largest primary-only Academy Trust in the country. It currently supports 60 primary academies across England (Harrier Primary Academy will be the Trust's 61 st school), all of whom share our mission to provide the best possible education for our young people.
This is wider than a focus on how children perform in tests and exams; we want our pupils to enjoy a rich, rewarding, curriculum that focuses on them as individuals, supports them to develop their character and become well-rounded young people who go on to live fulfilled lives.
This is best exemplified through our innovative commitment of 11 before 11: a range of activities designed to inspire and stretch REAch2 children, including camping in a field or a forest; visiting a foreign country; climbing a mountain; learning to play a musical instrument, and performing in a major concert.
These can prove to be transformative experiences, as pupils learn more about themselves, their interests, and how they can interact with the world around them.
