WELCOME FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Welcome to the Mersey View Learning Trust. Our collaboration of academies is being developed to be able to create outstanding provision for all learners within our communities. It has the vision and values focused on inclusion, aspiration and care for all our learners and staff. We are six academies who teach and care for over 3000 learners in Merseyside. All the academies are equal collaborators in school improvement and raising aspirations in young people to achieve great things academically and personally.

Enrichment and wellbeing is a strong focus within our schools and creating a breadth and depth of cultural and sporting experiences is central to giving pupils the opportunity to achieve their best in all aspects of their lives. Inclusion is at our core and runs through the veins of every member of our trust. It is about equity and ensuring no pupil gets left behind. All pupils will achieve their best and high expectations of academies drives success in our leaders for what they plan and provide for our pupils. Our vision and expectations are about every child being able to develop healthy lifestyles, have positive relationships, be inclusive, be resilient in character and make the world they live a better place to be.

As the CEO, I am extremely proud that I have been given the responsibility to strategically lead alongside the headteachers and senior leaders of each of the Trust schools. This is done in line with the vision and values of the Trust Board. The Board has empowered all in leadership roles to expect high expectations and to ensure that each and every pupils has first class quality learning experiences that prepare them for the next stage of their life journey. Leaders will create an aspirational culture for all pupils including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils, irrespective of their background, will work hard, achieve well and strive to live up to the trust’s motto, ‘For everyone the best’. They are pupils that can be ‘open and honest about who they are’ - pupils that are keen to celebrate diversity.

Our Trust partnership will use our strong interrelationships and depth of experiences to be able to support each other in becoming even better places for pupils to achieve even greater outcomes academically and in regards to personal growth. Our Trust role is to break down the barriers and allow teachers and leaders do the job they were trained to do. We are reflective in this responsibility and are always researching and collaborating with external partners to look at new ideas and create new ways of working to continually improve.

Our Central team work closely with our schools to support them to achieve the outcomes that they are accountable for and to allow them to grow in the work they have planned for their school. We have strong basis for growth with all of our schools being judged ‘outstanding and good’. This experience is being used actively to support other schools who need to achieve better outcomes, attendance rates and Ofsted ratings. Our central team ensures that our business model delivers efficiency, effectiveness and economies of scale so schools have the best opportunities to succeed.
