The Constellation Trust is a family of schools who work together to support each other.

What we can offer schools

The Constellation Trust is a family of schools who work together to support each other. Each member is required to contribute to the core offer that ensures all schools are fully compliant financially, legally and meet the necessary health, safety, and safeguarding standards. The 5% contribution was determined by the DfE, and we have chosen not to increase this despite the challenging financial climate. As a Trust, we ensure schools benefit from receiving more than 5% return in essential services that they would currently purchase.
