Our Family
As part of our family, you will gain access to a wealth of experience, strategic guidance, and shared resources designed to empower your school and enhance outcomes for your pupils.
Our support spans all key areas, including leadership development, safeguarding, finance, estates management, governance, and Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
With bespoke programmes such as our Aspirant Leader, Artisan Teacher, and Venn Headship initiatives, as well as accredited training like Team Teach and Leading for Learning, we ensure that staff at all levels are equipped to succeed.
Collaboration
At Venn Academy Trust, we provide the structure and services that empower our schools to achieve more together than they could alone.
We are a Trust rather than a chain, valuing the autonomy of our school leaders and local governing bodies as a fundamental pillar of our success. While Venn offers a range of efficient, time-saving support services, our Principals retain the freedom to shape their curriculum and policies in ways that best serve their school communities.
Our vision has always been to create a framework that enhances the impact of each school while freeing our educators and leaders to focus on what truly matters: delivering outstanding education for every pupil.
The Support You Can Expect
From our central hub, our expert teams provide hands-on support across key areas, including:
- Finance – ensuring sustainability and value for money.
- Estates – maintaining and improving our learning environments.
- IT – delivering reliable and innovative digital solutions.
- HR & Recruitment – attracting, developing, and retaining the best talent.
- Legal & Compliance – providing guidance to protect and empower schools.
- Marketing & Communications – enhancing school visibility and engagement.
- Educational Support Services – offering high-quality professional development and school improvement strategies.
At Venn, we believe that by providing strategic support and enabling autonomy, we create the conditions for our schools to thrive—delivering excellence for every learner, every day.
