Formed in April 2019, Children First Academy Trust was created through five local primary schools coming together, recognising the value of working together to improve the education we can provide for our children.

Our schools range from two forms of entry to four forms of entry. Most of our schools have provision for Pre-Schools, Nurseries and specialist complex needs provisions within them. The annual Trust budget is approximately £30 million.

Our Governance is made up mainly of local people, with a wide variety of skill sets and backgrounds. Local Governing Boards work at school level to monitor the impact of school improvement strategies, whilst the Trustees are responsible for the performance of the Trust schools. They recognise their moral and legal responsibility to guide the Trust with integrity and aspiration.
