Education, Community and Opportunity (ECO).

Education:

Every child at a North Star Community Trust school will receive an excellent education.

Community:

Every child at a North Star Community Trust school will be able to make a difference in their community.

Opportunity:

Every child at a North Star Community Trust school will have opportunities to help them develop into well-rounded citizens of the future.

Stronger Together

As a Trust, as communities of staff, children and families, we believe we are all Stronger Together.


Putting the child at the heart of everything we do

This image of concentric circles provides a visual representation of the priorities and holistic approach of North Star Community Trust, a Multi-Academy Trust dedicated to improving educational outcomes for children.

At the centre of the diagram is the "Child," representing the core focus of all our efforts.

Surrounding this are key areas of support and development, demonstrating the layered framework that underpins our commitment to ensuring every child thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.

The blue inner circle encompasses essential aspects of our educational delivery, such as safeguarding, curriculum, and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). These elements highlight the fundamental aspects of a safe and enriching educational experience that meets individual needs while fostering high-quality learning opportunities.

The green layer builds upon this foundation by addressing wider support areas, including engagement, data, pupil premium (PP), and free school meals (FSM). This shows our proactive approach to identifying barriers to learning and implementing strategies to support children’s success both inside and outside the classroom.

The red outer layer represents the broader context of our work. This includes the Trust's partnership with external agencies, local authorities, and the wider community. These collaborations enable us to provide comprehensive support to children and their families, ensuring a joined-up approach that extends beyond the school environment.

Overall, this diagram encapsulates the mission of North Star Community Trust: to nurture and inspire children within a structured and supportive framework. Through strong partnerships, tailored education, and a focus on the individual child, we aim to transform lives and foster a thriving community across our academies. The concentric circles make it clear that every layer of our organisation works together to achieve this shared vision.
