WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR OF TRUSTEES

I am delighted to be able to present our end of year report. This is an exciting time to lead the Trust. We start 2023 with strong leadership, improved results, and a clear strategy for school improvement. We are investing in our people with a renewed focus to drive forward sustained improvement across Education for the 21st Century Trust so we can fulfil our mission of improving outcomes, transforming lives.

However, we do so against an increasingly challenging financial backdrop affecting our schools, families, and the children we serve. We will work hard together to manage these challenges, prioritise the education of our pupils and support our families. I know we can do this best by staying true to our vision and values building a strong culture across our family of schools. On behalf of the Trustee Board, I would like to sincerely thank our parents and carers for your support of our schools. We look forward to seeing them grow from strength to strength.
