Welcome to Focus-Trust

Welcome to the website of Focus-Trust, a charitable multi-academy trust established in 2012. We are based in the North West of England and are dedicated to working with our 15 primary academies. It is the core purpose of Focus-Trust to continually strive to be a learning organisation, where the learning of all children and adults is valued and promoted.

We passionately believe equality of opportunity starts with education; irrespective of where you were born or where you live, a high quality education in one of our great academies will make a fundamental difference to all our children’s lives, career prospects and social mobility.

The Focus-Trust team is committed to providing high quality pedagogy, curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment.  We aim to provide inclusive and inspirational environments where our children thrive and build the social and ‘cultural capital’ they need to make aspirational choices about their future, overcoming barriers.

We have a thriving partnership of 11 converter and 4 sponsored academies who are driven to do the best for our children.  As a team we believe in ‘Collective efficacy’ and have a shared commitment to work together on the things that matter to improve outcomes for all.

We are proud to have a great team of people working in our academies who always put children at the heart of our practice.  We are committed to providing excellent professional development opportunities for all our staff and always aim to be an employer of choice.

The information on this site will give you an indication of our values and approach and illustrate examples of how we make our commitment a reality: ‘Learning together, making the difference’ and realise our vision of ‘Great academies at the heart of our communities’.
