About the Trust

We are Odyssey Collaborative Trust—a family of Derby City primary and junior schools with a shared vision to deliver an outstanding quality of education and care for our pupils.

We came together to create opportunities for collaboration, support, and challenge across our schools, while ensuring each one retains its unique identity and strong accountability to its local community.

  • There will be excellent standards of education for the pupils of Derby (as demonstrated by OFSTED inspections or validated self-evaluation, parent and pupil feedback) 
  • Children have received a well-rounded education (as demonstrated by the views of pupils and parents, OFSTED inspections and external reviews of the trust’s work) 
  • We will be delivering learning opportunities for pupils and staff which couldn’t be achieved in a standalone school (as demonstrated by the views of pupils, parents and staff) 
  • The trust will be rooted in our local community with schools and their communities having a strong voice in the running of the trust (as demonstrated by our governance structure, the views of parents and governors and audit of civic connections) 
  • Being a ‘learning organisation’ which is aware of the context within which our trust operates in and learning from feedback given to us by children, parents, communities and staff. 
  • Offering support from our central team which will empower our headteachers and teaching staff to improve their schools, while also helping to ensure schools are safe and meet their legal obligations.   
  • Securing value for money through joint procurement and benchmarked central costs. 

The name of our trust reminds us of three key touchstones: 

ODYSSEY: Ignoring short-term distractions and building for the long-term success of our schools 

COLLABORATIVE: Sharing good practice and sharing decision making 

TRUST: Putting faith in our school leaders and being open with one another
