The Apollo Academies Trust is a brand new, vibrant and dynamic trust. We are a very forward thinking organisation that provides the latest innovations in education. We can open doorways to learning opportunities on a local, national and global level. Our trust is operated in Norfolk and our founding school is in King’s Lynn. We have been set up as a primary level driven trust so our key expertise is in EYFS, KS1 and KS2. Each school has its own unique personality and we work with that. Every trust school has its own community values, ethos and a unique feel. That is why as a trust we tailor our approaches to meet an individual school community. Our schools really value our approaches, support and guidance.

Welcome from our CEO

The Apollo Academies Trust is a brand new, vibrant and dynamic trust. We are a very forward thinking organisation that provides the latest innovations in education. We can open doorways to learning opportunities on a local, national and global level.

All Multi Academy Trusts profess to have a clear focus on the type of education approach they advocate and will state that they have a constant focus on improving quality through staff development. However, at the Apollo Trust, we believe a Trust should be doing this as a minimum and that with our current expertise we can deliver that and much, much more ‘added value’ services to free up budgets and create economies of scale.

Each school is different and whilst we will provide peer support, advice and structure where needed, we also respect the approaches taken at Good or Outstanding Schools and will not change what is obviously working in that school’s context.

The Apollo Trust does not believe that one size (or approach) fits all. We will not ask a school to adopt a single pedagogy, change into a homogeneous corporate ‘brand’ or indeed insist on a ‘central-office’ dictated method of working. We will ask schools to work with each other openly and transparently to share best practice within the Trust’s family of schools. Headteachers will be recognised for their expertise and desire to be leaders within their schools and will be asked to contribute to the growth of the Trust. So, for Good or Outstanding Schools, joining the Apollo Trust it will not mean that the Head Teacher or Governing Body loses control or influence over the school. Apollo will work with the Head Teacher to take back-office workload away from their role, focus on improving system efficiency and reduce the costs of non-teaching functions and of purchases such as consumables, energy, waste, catering and cleaning etc.

An effective Head Teacher focuses on teaching and learning and the pupil experience.

We are a flexible and dynamic organisation committed to ensure pupils are happy, successful and have the best opportunities available.

As CEO, it is an honour to serve you and ensure the very highest standards are achieved for all schools. My guarantee to you is that I will always offer an ‘open-door’ policy and fully listen to your needs.

Kindest regards,

Gregory
