About Inclusive Schools Trust

Inclusive Schools Trust is a small specialist primary multi-academy trust driven by its commitment to make inclusion a reality. Our deeply embedded culture develops an understanding of the whole child throughout the Trust. This led us to grade Personal Development as 'outstanding' across each of the six schools, an assessment which has been recently validated by OFSTED. The Trust is committed to promoting a curriculum that protects the unique elements of each school community and, at the same time, improving outcomes in order to increase life-chances for all children. The Trust is committed to the contribution it makes for the good of the whole and understands the critical mission to raise standards and strengthen the Norfolk school system.
