The Trust of Choice

Inspire Connected Communities Trust is passionate about promoting opportunities and celebrating the successes of children and young people in all its settings. We are committed to providing a forward-thinking, yet equally supportive and challenging culture, to ensure each school builds on development, with a drive and commitment to maintaining their core purpose of achievement for all. We work with a range of schools in varying circumstances, both specialist and mainstream. Partnership for improvement is our driving force, which comes in many forms.

As a Trust, we are committed to supporting all pupils and students across the education sector, however, we are experts in supporting those with SEND. We are continually outward facing as a trust, in all our approaches and hold a commitment to continually supporting the wider school system.

We have consistently collaborated and supported the work of the local authority and delivered on projects supporting both staff and students alike, across Lincolnshire.  We are committed to continuing to work collaboratively with mainstream and specialist settings to develop and share expertise and approaches.

As a Trust, we believe in each school’s identity and live by our ethos, that all our pupils and students require an individualised approach and, as such, so do our schools. Robust systems of accountability are embedded through supportive challenge, ensuring each school maintains their own ethos, unique characteristics and service to their community. 

As a Trust our aim is always to ENABLE:

• Leaders and Headteachers to lead and develop their school in line with their own vision, whilst offering a stimulating, exciting and enriching curriculum which is underpinned by the efforts and commitment of our talented staff. All of our schools seek to engage our pupils and students in their education, so we improve their progress, attainment, and attendance.
• Partnership with parents/carers and other agencies involved with our pupils’ and students' educational and personal development.
