From the Oldway Primary School
Since the day our Trust was established in October 2015, we have known that every one of our schools is special just like each of our kids. Riviera Education Trust's academies serve various communities in various settings, but we all strive to give our kids the best education possible. Our academies, which have received the OfSTED rating of "Outstanding," are dedicated to enhancing the opportunities and options available to all students, regardless of their backgrounds or abilities, through ongoing reflection and development. The children in our schools benefit from working with National and Specialist Leaders in Education (NLE & SLEs) providing the very best leadership across our schools. Torbay Teaching School Alliance, the teaching school of our Trust, leads on school to school improvement and staff practise development throughout Torbay. I am proud to be guiding the Trust forward to even greater accomplishments because I have personally witnessed how our collaborative approach and unwavering focus on high standards for everybody, can make a significant influence in children's lives.
