About us:
Led by Sir John Townsley, the nationally renowned GORSE Academies Trust has a central mission; to ensure that we play a significant role in removing the stubborn link between poverty and academic underperformance. We achieve this through providing all students, but particularly those who have the most challenging and complex backgrounds, with a rigorous and academic education which challenges and develops them, not only academically, but also socially. We believe that this will prepare them for life not only in Britain, but across the world.
We aspire for our young people to acquire the Gift of Choice, that is the ability for them to be able to actively choose their next steps, at whatever age, as opposed to having avenues closed off to them as a consequence of a poor skillset or qualifications base. The impact of the work of professionals can be acutely seen in the trust's performance, for example, in 2022-23 GORSE was the highest performing trust in the country (for trusts with 5 or more schools in them) for whole cohort Progress 8 and for disadvantaged Progress 8. Furthermore, the trust is proud that all of its establishments (with the exception of those that are currently ungraded) are Ofsted Good or Outstanding. This is only possible because of the exceptional members of staff and the tremendous support offered within the trust.
