We recognise that life is fast paced and that our ever evolving world can have a negative impact on our mental health. Our programme is carefully designed to teach our children about the brain; how it functions, the impact of emotions and how to maintain a healthy positive mind-set.

From a very young age the children are taught how to self-regulate their emotions, in a safe environment with adult support where required in order to build a skill set that will support them throughout school life and beyond. Whole school mindfulness gives everyone an opportunity to reset themselves and use as a strategy to create calmness at times where that is required.

Looking after our body through being active whilst ensuring healthy nutrition to fuel our bodies is something that we feel as a Trust we need to put as a priority. With national figures on the rise for levels of obesity and national figures for the amount of daily exercise performed decreasing, we recognise the need to balance this.

Each academy has fantastic sporting facilities and with a lead for Physical Education across the Trust, this is something that we see as a priority.

Character Education is the soul of our academies. Character is caught, taught and sought by all who enter! It is impossible not to. We wholeheartedly believe that our children must be given the skills and ability to choose intellectually between alternatives and to take ownership of their own actions.

We have developed our very own Character Curriculum which is now in hundreds of schools, supporting thousands of children nationwide with Commando Joes. Our children complete weekly missions that have been carefully designed to put to test focus Virtues.
