About Us

Kingsbridge Educational Trust is a Multi-Academy Trust (a charitable company limited by guarantee, company number 09144847) with sponsorship accreditation from the DfE. At the moment it operates four schools: Kents Hill Park School, Oakgrove all-through school, Monkston Primary School and Middleton Primary school.

Vision, Ethos and Pedagogy

A multi-academy trust group of strong performing, like-minded schools dedicated to high standards of achievement for all students. Each school will have a unique ethos and identity and maximum devolution of decision-making within a strong accountability structure. The Trust will promote a clear educational vision, ethos and direction and ensure the uniqueness of each Academy, and the contribution it makes to the Trust, is recognised.

Aims and Values

To ensure outstanding learning opportunities are provided for each and every child regardless of age, gender, need, faith or background. To enrich lives socially, culturally, morally and spiritually and to ensure all children can take their place in a forward-thinking enlightened democracy.

We will do this by ensuring each school in the Trust:

• provides the very best in teaching and learning opportunities for every student;
• has the highest expectations of what students can achieve;
• promotes an ethos of high expectations, outstanding behaviour and care;
• has an enriching and enabling, broad and balanced curricular and extra-curricular programme that supports outstanding personal development;
• prepares and equips students well for the next stages of their school journey;
• promotes and sustains the very best of British values, including fairness, equality, honesty, justice and service;
• ensures students reach the highest possible standards in public examinations;
• shares our vision, aims and values and actively promotes these.

Uniqueness

Our model is unique in that we devolve maximum decision-making powers to local level and want to ensure each school retains its own identity, flavour and personality. Local Governing Bodies, apart from the requirement to have a Finance and Personnel Committee, are free to set up whatever committee structure they see fit. The Board of Directors retains an oversight function, especially as regards finance, outcomes and safeguarding but responsibility is delegated to the individual Governing Bodies. The Trust, however, has a level of expertise that individual schools can draw upon and offers an unrivalled opportunity to share best practice and school improvement strategies for the benefit of all children. It also enables cost-efficient, expert centrally-run services to be provided to schools enabling them to concentrate on the teaching and learning.
