Progress

The Constellation Trust is a highly inclusive group of schools who cater for the needs of all pupils through a strategic approach to effectively maximise our resources. Our priority is to ensure all pupils achieve their full potential and continue their educational journey beyond Year 11, either in our post-16 provision or along other academic or vocational routes. To allow pupils to be our priority, leaders in our schools are afforded the opportunity to focus entirely on their school development without the unnecessary demands of back-office support. Continual school improvement is key to ensuring we remove as many barriers to pupils making effective progress as we are able.

The success of the recent application to develop a free school in partnership with the East Riding widens our reach to support pupils and allows the development of positive relationships with neighbouring schools.

All schools in our Trust retain their unique identity whilst benefitting from a support network that allows effective sharing of the best practice between schools with a similar context and demographic.

Our Plans for the Future

Trustees, together with the Trust team are ambitious for all schools in our group to continue a journey of sustained improvement. Leaders are never content that their school improvement role is complete; there are always other innovative ways to enhance the opportunities available to learners and improve their experience.

We are also ambitious to continue to grow the Trust, welcoming schools with a similar ethos to ours. Collaboration and partnership play a central role in continual development and self-improvement.

Our Overarching Priorities

  • Investigate the potential of extending the provision of our nurseries to provide access for 2-year-olds
  • Deliver the new free school plan to allow the Alternative Provision to open in the East Riding
  • Explore flexible working opportunities to aid recruitment and retention.
  • Continue our self improvement model

Incorporates additional training in areas like early reading, phonics, and emotional literacy, extending beyond standard requirements.
