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.

Our world needs a big change. A better kind of education.
 
Education that gives our young people the best academic knowledge and skills, a safe environment to grow, to understand themselves and their peers, and an inspiring, big-picture perspective of the world they live in.
 
Success for us and our schools is not about popularity, profit or prestige. It’s defined by lives improved, opportunities given and futures secured.
 
That’s what we believe all children deserve, and it’s what we strive towards every day. A better future for all our children, a better future for our planet, and a better future for everyone.

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
