Welcome from our CEO
At Equinox Learning Trust, everything begins and ends with our pupils. We exist to transform lives through education, by developing young people who are balanced, who grow, and who embrace new beginnings with confidence and curiosity.
What does that look like in practice?
It means placing high academic expectations at the centre of our work, while never losing sight of the importance of the arts, sport and enrichment. We believe a truly great education goes beyond exam results; it shapes well-rounded, balanced individuals who are ready to thrive in a changing world.
It means nurturing growth in every child: intellectually, emotionally and socially. Whether it is through an ambitious curriculum, life-changing trips, or personal development programmes, we are committed to helping every learner find their passion and realise their potential.
And it means creating new beginnings, from a warm welcome at the school gate to the spark of discovering a hidden talent. Our teachers don’t just deliver lessons, they open doors.
We are a Trust with purpose and momentum. Every year, our Board signs off a clear, strategic plan to support each school’s success. We invest in:
- high-impact professional development,
- an expert central services team, and
- a robust, collaborative school improvement offer.
A standout feature of our Trust is our Equinox Champions. These are practising staff who lead cross-Trust communities of innovation in areas like writing, safeguarding, inclusion, attendance and artificial intelligence. These communities aren’t top-down initiatives, they are led by passionate people making real change together.
At our core, we believe schools thrive in collaboration. Our central team lightens the load, so school leaders can focus on what matters most: great teaching. Together, we allocate resources strategically, design rich curricula and ensure every child gets the best start in life.
Equinox Learning Trust is outward-looking and future-facing. We are not afraid to innovate, grow and reach beyond our boundaries when it means better outcomes for pupils. We invest in people because people shape futures.
If you share our values and believe in the power of schools to change lives, we’d love to hear from you. Whether you're an educator seeking your next challenge or a school ready to join a thriving family of like-minded professionals, you are warmly invited to start your new beginning with us.
