Our Strategic Ambitions
Joining Tenacitas Trust means becoming part of a trust that is focused on driving meaningful change through our three strategic ambitions:
We prioritise the wellbeing, development, and recognition of staff across our schools, creating an environment where they feel valued and supported.
We actively strengthen collaboration within and beyond the trust, building strong relationships with local communities and fostering a sense of belonging for everyone.
We are dedicated to delivering high and rising standards, ensuring every pupil has the opportunity to achieve and thrive in a supportive and inspiring environment.
What We Offer
Our low, transparent top-slice ensures that more of your funding goes directly to improving outcomes for pupils, staff, and the wider school community
We provide expert support in financial management, estates, HR, and operational planning, enabling your school’s leadership to focus on delivering high-quality education.
We offer opportunities for staff to grow within the trust, take on leadership roles, and access tailored professional development designed to meet individual and school-specific needs.
Our central team offers hands-on support in curriculum development, safeguarding, governance, and leadership, ensuring schools receive personalised guidance when they need it most.
Staff at every level benefit from trust-wide communities of practice, where they can collaborate, share expertise, and learn from peers across our family of schools.
We handle the complexities of governance and regulatory compliance, ensuring strong accountability structures. At the same time, we value and respect the vital role of each school’s Local Governing Body (LGB), recognising their importance in understanding and supporting their unique communities.
Schools in our trust benefit from economies of scale, access to innovative technology, and trust-wide procurement services, saving time and money.
We deliver evidence-based strategies and targeted interventions to ensure that every pupil achieves and thrives, both inside and outside of the classroom.
We support schools in strengthening their local links while offering access to a broader network of resources and partnerships across the trust.
