David Ross Trust - Head of Operations

An academy of choice in our communities: • 12,000 students • 1,900 teachers and staff

• 34 academies • 22 primaries • 11 secondaries • 1 special school

Our strength is our diversity. Each academy has different skills and areas of expertise, and each academy contributes something to the wider network as a whole. Since the formation of the Trust in 2010, the infrastructure to support both the expertise and ambition of these academies has grown and developed. Each academy is now part of a regional hub, a group of schools linked by age group, geography and ambition, which ensures that innovation is captured and best practice embraced. Underpinning this, our Core Team is a dedicated group of educationalists and specialists in their areas. They provide advice and guidance where needed, and enable senior academy leaders to focus on the educational outcomes of their students. The collective efforts of the Trust are having a transformational effect. We are proud that we have supported some of the most improved schools in England – academies that have gone from Special Measures to Outstanding in five terms or where exam results are amongst the most improved in the country.
