Description
The Alban Academies Trust (AAT) was established on 1st August 2017 to provide schools in and near St. Albans with a local high-quality cross-phase trust designed to respond to the needs of each member school, offering individual autonomy alongside the strength and security of collective partnership. We seek to secure the rapid and sustained improvement of every school in the AAT through promoting high-quality leadership as a result of working together.
Alban Academies Trust incorporates Ridgeway Academy, Sandringham School, Verulam School, Wheatfield’s Junior School, Wheatfield’s Infants’ and Nursery School, Garden Fields School and Skyswood School.
We work in a multi-academy trust to share best practice, deliver joint training, promote the highest of expectations and raise achievement for all students. The trust offers significant opportunities for career development of staff at all levels within our organisation.
We support a holistic approach to education, enabling professionals from all phases to share ideas and work together to raise standards.
A key aspect of our vision is for each school to maintain its own distinctive character and to cherish heritage whilst at the same time seek opportunities to further strengthen culture and ethos across the AAT.
The AAT also has strong links with the Alban Federation (Awarding body for Initial Teacher Training), the Alban Teaching School Alliance (for staff development) and the Research School Hub.
Key principles to define our ethos and culture include:
- Core purpose on achieving the best outcomes for all children served by the trust
- Shared knowledge and trust to empower everyone built on mutual respect
- All academies in the trust hold the highest expectations of young people and what they can achieve
- We actively promote equality at all levels in the trust
To define the values of the trust, we have adopted the mission statement ‘Educational Excellence for Everyone’ .
