Welcome

Excellence through Collaboration

Welcome to Penrose Learning Trust

It is a privilege to welcome you to Penrose Learning Trust. We are a cross-phase Multi Academy Trust with nine schools across Suffolk and Northeast Essex.

At the heart of Penrose is a simple but powerful belief: every young person deserves the opportunity to be the best they can be, regardless of their background or need. Our vision and values shape everything we do, creating a culture built on respect, relationships, inclusion and positivity, with a clear focus on ensuring every young person achieves highly academically and is supported to succeed.

I believe passionately that education should open doors and unlock potential. Our ambition is not only for academic success, but for every young person to develop the knowledge, confidence, character and resilience they need to thrive in school and throughout their lives.

We want our schools to be places where every young person feels known, valued and supported; where they are encouraged to discover their strengths, develop their talents and take advantage of opportunities that broaden their horizons.

Our commitment to our staff is just as important. Great schools are built by great people, and I am passionate about creating a culture where colleagues feel valued and are provided opportunities to develop, learn and progress. We invest in our staff, share expertise across our Trust and create opportunities for colleagues to build their careers and fulfil their potential.

Excellence through collaboration is at the heart of Penrose. By working together, sharing our strengths and learning from one another, we can achieve more for the young people and communities we serve.

I am proud to be part of a Trust that is ambitious for its young people, values its staff and believes strongly in the power of collaboration. This is what makes Penrose special: a shared commitment to high expectations, strong relationships and creating the very best opportunities for the communities we serve.
