The Kite Academy Trust

“Being part of The Kite Academy Trust has been utterly transformational for our little school. Recently, for the first time in our 25-year history, The Ferns was graded Good by Ofsted, and this achievement would not have been possible without the Trust's collaborative approach. Through shared planning, weekly faculty support and access to expert colleagues, our staff felt confident, supported, upskilled and listened to.”

“At The Grove, with over double the national average of pupils with EHCPs, being truly inclusive and ensuring that every child flourishes is something we take great pride in. Being part of The Kite has meant we are able to identify needs even earlier and put the right support in place as soon as it is needed. We benefit every day from the shared SEND expertise across the Trust, while also embracing the opportunity we have to share our SEND expertise with other schools. The success of this collaborative approach to inclusion is best seen in the incredible outcomes achieved by our pupils with SEND.”

“What our Trust gets right is that it genuinely cares about how we feel as people. As a Head of two schools, that matters enormously to me—not just for my own wellbeing, but for the wellbeing of every member of staff I’m responsible for. The overall offer feels thoughtful, practical, and genuinely supportive, helping both staff and pupils to thrive. I personally enjoy being part of the theatre club, which is a brilliant way to unwind and build relationships across the Trust.”
