TSAT Members, Directors and Governors are united in their commitment to delivering our vision of transforming the life chances of all of our young people and students, regardless of background, ethnicity or gender.
Our Trust has a proud track record of success in growing the number and performance of schools within the TSAT family. This is due to our strong educational vision of fully integrated thinking schools, within a framework of cognitive-based education. This supports our children in developing their ability to think and act independently, and in consequence their confidence and success in terms of their own future.
Our governance framework and the actions of our Governors within that is a key component of achieving our vision and success – working with our leadership and all of our staff, providing oversight, challenge and support. Through this, we aim to ensure that each school within the Trust, and TSAT overall, upholds the highest standards and delivers the best to each and every one of our students.
