Welcome to Astrea Academy Trust
Starting out with six schools in 2016, we are now a thriving family of 26 academies spread throughout South Yorkshire and Cambridgeshire. Our aim is that every child gets a brilliant education, we will do this by pursuing aspirational standards with tenacity and drive, and by never settling for second best and not tolerating something that does not live up to our standards. We will remove performance barriers and develop a scholarly culture of behaviour and learning from students and of pedagogy and curriculum from our staff to ensure our children learn, thrive and lead successful lives.
Our Vision and Values
All Astrea children will learn, thrive and lead successful lives. Working together, Astrea schools will tackle head on the barriers that stand in the way of children’s success. We will do this through a relentless commitment to a brilliant education, a focus on inclusion for all, and by delivering on our promise of broad opportunities and supporting and sustaining thriving communities.
Scholarship:
We are informed by the best of academic and organisational thinking and research, using this where we can and expanding it where possible.
Curiosity:
We ask searching questions, not taking things at face value, seeking out the best of what is known and engaging in appreciative enquiry.
Tenacity:
We deliver on our promises and see things through to completion. We embody pace, urgency and determination in our focus on improving outcomes for children and on our own performance.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to give all Astrea students an advantage throughout life, setting them up to be accomplished and competitive in all that they do. We have this ambition for all students, whilst recognising that the most disadvantaged amongst them will benefit most from our work.
