Our Values and Ambition

At Enquire Learning Trust, everything we do is driven by a clear and unwavering purpose: children come first. Across our academies, excellence is not just encouraged—it’s expected. We foster a culture where curiosity, reflection, innovation, and discipline are the cornerstones of powerful learning.

We believe every child has the potential to be a powerful learner. And we’re deeply committed—extraordinarily bothered, in fact—about making that belief a reality.

Rooted in Community, Committed to Impact

Our academies are more than schools—they are pillars of their communities. Each one is unique, shaped by its local context and strengthened by deep-rooted partnerships. We actively involve parents and community members in our governance, with representation on our Trust Board and Academy Improvement Committees.

Together, we are building a future where every child is empowered to thrive—and every community is proud to be part of our journey.
