From the The Grove Academy
We at Aspire Academies Trust are committed to improving the lives of the kids in our care.
Each child should learn about their innate skills, talents, and interests in order for our schools to be the best they can be.
Bovingdon Primary Academy, Hammond Academy, The Grove Academy, and the West Herts Teaching School Alliance are currently part of the Aspire Trust, which is an honour.
We firmly believe in the ability of collaboration to ensure that more kids obtain a top-notch education.
The ultimate objective that unites us all is to raise educational standards by offering exceptional teaching, leadership, and learning opportunities to everyone.
At the same time, we support earned autonomy across the Trust and acknowledge how critical it is for academies to preserve and develop their unique identities.
To address the unique needs of their students and community, we urge our member schools to manage and lead in a way that maintains their unique identities.
The Aspire Academies Trust is special because of its blend of independence and teamwork in crucial areas of leadership and management, supported by a common vision, core values, and best practises.
