Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust
Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust was established in 2007 and founded by Shireland Collegiate Academy, an Outstanding school located in the Smethwick area.
Led by Sir Mark Grundy, the Trust expects outstanding outcomes from all of its community, regardless of background or ability level. Partnerships with organisations such as Microsoft, Tute and the Birmingham Hippodrome, all of which will benefit Tameside Primary Academy, help to ensure that the Trust provides unique opportunities for pupils as well as the strong academic fundamentals.
The Trust’s three principal cornerstones are innovate, inspire and collaborate.
To be innovative staff must be leaders of learning, allowing students to aim higher.
Inspiration comes from all staff members seeing further, motivating pupils to change attitudes. Finally, collaboration is a product of staff members promoting cohesion within the school community, so that students are concerned for all.
All the Primaries within the Trust share the same three core values: Excite, Explore and Excel.
The Trust creates educational experiences that ‘excite’ and motivate both staff and pupils. Skills are developed within pupils which allow them to ‘explore’ and learn new things, arousing curiosity which allows for a successful learning culture where both pupils and staff ‘excel’.
The Trust’s key aim is to provide an inclusive education for local pupils at every ability level, believing that:
- Every pupil should have access to a whole education underpinned by academic rigour.
- Every pupil should be equipped for today, tomorrow and their future lives, acquiring cutting-edge skills and the ability to discover the world and beyond.
- Every pupil should be safe, happy, ambitious for themselves and respectful of all.
As part of the Trust, Tameside Primary Academy will be part of a network of schools that not only share good practice among themselves, but is led and supported by a team that provides outstanding learning opportunities to all.
