The Great Schools Trust is a values led Multi Academy Trust. It places considerable emphasis on ensuring an ethical ethos and ... a strong values system permeates everything it does. Each of its schools prioritises character education, which is taught through a structured programme of character and leadership development. Each school holds a number of core beliefs that are central to its practice, including that all students must learn to be resilient on their educational journey in order to achieve these ambitions; and they must become confident contributing citizens able to develop a passion for both learning and character development.

It became the National School of Character in 2015 and is recognised globally as a leader in the field of student and adult character and leadership development and innovation. read more
