About the Trust
Connect Academy Trust brings together eight primary schools across Plymouth and South Devon. Each school is individual, with its own distinctive culture and identity, but all are strengthened by the shared support, leadership and experience of the Trust.
The Trust is values-led and places learning, collaboration and continuous improvement at the heart of its work. It believes every child deserves an engaging education delivered by motivated and skilled professionals, alongside a safe and supportive environment in which they can grow.
Connect also places a strong emphasis on developing its people, investing in high-quality training, professional learning and collaboration so that staff can continue to grow their skills and expertise.
As a values-led trust, our beliefs and principles drive everything we do. We have a set of values (we call them our anchors) that describe our personality, set our ambitions, drive our decisions and filter into every aspect of our work.
We want to be known for being…
- Empowering
- Principled
- Nurturing
- Trailblazing
