Message from the CEO
The current educational landscape has never provided headteachers, governing bodies and trusts with greater a challenge. It is now more important than ever that schools work in partnership to enable the very best educational opportunities and services. By working together as a wider family of schools, we can share a joint approach to supporting our students, their families and our staff. The Trust is about us working collaboratively to provide the best education for the children of Barrow. Therefore, I look forward to working with staff from all our Furness Education Trust schools and building positive and productive relationships. It is my pleasure to be part of a thriving school community which fosters a culture that enables young people to develop and grow.
Our Aim
Our aim is to work together as a family of like-minded schools underpinned by our moral purpose to drive educational excellence through high aspiration, outstanding achievement and lifelong learning skills for all of our pupils and students.
