Welcome from the Principal Team
Northern School Trust is a not-for-profit education charity. It is a well-developed MAT (Multi-Academy Trust) held in high regard by the DFE. Our schools operate in challenging social contexts, with over half of our year 11 students eligible for Pupil Premium funding – double the national average. NST students are also more likely to have entered secondary school at least one level behind their peers.
Our schools aim to increase the number of life choices for our students and their families.
We’re proud that our academies have achieved some strong early results. We’re also proud of the NST team who have worked exceptionally hard to develop an innovative education which enables students not only to succeed academically but also to achieve exceptional life changing opportunities.
Our two start up academies received Good with Outstanding Features at their first Ofsted inspections.
The Trust is proud of its collaborative way of working and is developing into a nationally recognised and trusted academy sponsor with an excellent reputation. The Trust has a wide range of expertise and specialised experience to call upon, having access to the FE, University, private and voluntary sectors as well as partner schools and consultant expertise drawn from across the UK.
The Trust has a central team that provides best value and an efficient service delivery in areas of HR, Finance, Enterprise & Marketing, Governance, Strategic ICT Development, Data and Facilities Management to all NST schools.
