Key performance indicators are strategically aligned to empower the Board of Directors to hold senior leaders accountable.

Trauma-Informed Practice and Holistic Support.

All our academies listed above have proudly achieved the TIS UK Trauma Informed Schools Award, reflecting our deep commitment to nurturing the emotional wellbeing of every learner.

As part of our wider offer, we provide a dedicated Sanctuary Provision for up to 20 learners who benefit from personalised, trauma-informed strategies tailored to their individual needs. This safe and supportive environment is designed to foster resilience, emotional regulation, and positive relationships.

All learners have access to our off-site Forest School, where outdoor learning plays a vital role in promoting confidence, teamwork, and a connection with nature - key elements in supporting mental health and personal development. The Sanctuary Provision have tailored sessions to link with their individual needs. We also offer a dedicated day to our ASD learners.

All our Academies also have access to our on-site farm (Trinity Academy Newcastle) which offers hands-on experiences that promote responsibility, empathy, and a connection to nature - further enriching our holistic approach to education.
