Information about the Trust
The Stour Academy Trust recognises that our education system needs to shift quickly and more radically to close equity gaps and better prepare our young people for the 21st century. We are transforming our schools from passive forms of learning focused on direct instruction and memorisation, by moving towards interactive methods that promote critical and individual thinking needed in today’s innovation-driven economy.
We aim to nurture a community of learners that challenge thinking, where our staff are empowered to take risks and develop their practice to meet the needs of an evolving school system, which is not held back by traditional restrictions and ideologies.
By limiting routine or unnecessary tasks, we allow professionals to focus on learning behaviours and interactions that will promote emotional intelligence and the development of children as life-long, curious learners.
There will be no barriers to achievement within our learning community, and our teachers will build strong relationships that facilitate the learning of others. Collaboration will open doors, minds, and possibilities and enable individuals to meet their personal goals.
