Unity Education Trust Competitors

Star Academies is a mixed Multi-Academy Trust that runs a diverse network of primary and secondary schools. We are a values-based organisation, committed to enhancing social mobility. All our efforts are geared towards raising the aspirations of children and young people in areas of social and economic deprivation to improve their life chances and help them succeed at the highest levels of education, employment and the professions. Star Academies is one of the country’s leading education providers, and our schools promote excellence in everything they do. In every school, the entire staff team – working in partnership with parents and the local community – is committed to nurturing today’s young people and inspiring tomorrow’s leaders. Our schools work together as Star Partnerships in five cluster areas – Lancashire, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, the Midlands and London. Schools within the Partnerships collaborate to share expertise and maximise opportunities and experiences for our pupils. Star Academies employs the very best staff and invests heavily in their continuing professional development. Staff benefit from an extensive range of nationally accredited training provided by Star Institute.

Aspire Academy Trust is a vibrant and compassionate multi-academy trust and supports 37 diverse academies, 23 nurseries and an outdoor learning centre based across Cornwall. We don’t just aim for our children to achieve what is average or expected, but for them to excel both academically and in character.

Discovery Schools Academy Trust is a partnership between multiple schools across Leicestershire and Leicester City. The Trust is organised into clusters of schools who work together to develop teaching and learning, provide challenge and support for each other as well inter school learning opportunities. Schools share pooled learning and offer challenge to each other to ensure children are able to achieve their potential and have the very best learning opportunities. Each cluster is led by a system leader who is a National Leader of Education. Each system leader visits each school on a regular basis depending on the needs of the school. They provide network Headteacher meetings and support schools in their self evaluation. A number of governors from each cluster attend pooled governance meetings where governors share ideas and challenge each other. Children from across the trust take part in a range of inter school learning opportunities such as sporting competitions, enrichment and project days. All the schools within the trust use a virtual learning environment to share resources between teachers and create learning opportunities for children as well a chance for children to share their learning with others. The trust encourages disciplined innovation within and between schools. Schools are encouraged to develop unique learning institutions where best practice and innovation can be shared.
