Worfield Endowed CE Primary School

'Growing in grace together'

Collaborative Working Across Our Schools

On 1st February 2025 the schools in The Trinity Federation became part of Shropshire Church of England Academies Trust (SCEAT). Shropshire Church of England Academies Trust brings together a group of 8 Church of England primary schools with a shared ethos and vision, rooted in Christian values. This provides us with new opportunities for professional development and ensures that we can continue to offer a high standard of education and pastoral care within a supportive network.

 

Whilst The Trinity Federation no longer exists as a legal entity after 1st February, Beckbury CE Primary School, St. Mary’s Bluecoat CE Primary School and Worfield Endowed CE Primary School will maintain all their existing collaborative arrangements and, as members of the new Trust, the schools will continue to have a joint, single local governing body.

 

St Mary’s Bluecoat CE Primary and Worfield Endowed CE Primary School worked in a federation from September 2014. Beckbury CE Primary School joined the federation in September 2015.

 

In March 2019, Morville CE Primary School Academy (Part of The Diocese of Hereford Multi-Academy Trust (DHMAT)) entered into a service level agreement with the governing body of The Trinity Federation. This SLA is delivered by Mrs Claire Gaskin, Executive Headteacher with the support of a range of school leaders from the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and the Senior Leadership Teams (SLT) of the schools.

 

Through this agreement we;

  • provide the leadership and management which enables Morville CE Primary School to give every pupil high quality education and which promotes the highest possible standards of achievement and well being
  • Secure the long-term success of Morville CE Primary School by maximising potential through the sharing of skills and resources held within the schools belonging to The Trinity group of schools (a geographical hub within SCEAT)
  • Build system-wide leadership capacity at all levels through actively developing the effectiveness of local governance, staffing structures and roles and responsibilities
  • Have regard and respect for the ethos of Morville as a church school and uphold and support the Christian distinctiveness of the school.

 

The Aims of our Schools:

 

  • Every teacher is at least a ‘good’ teacher with a passion for their continuous professional development
  • Every school is at least a ‘good’ school. Every school strives to be an outstanding school!
  • Every school is an effective Church of England Primary School and graded at least ‘good’ in their Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS)
  • Teachers who use the most effective teaching methods to motivate learners and raise aspirations. As a result, pupils make good or better progress
  • Quality learning environments where pupils feel safe and secure, known and valued and motivated to learn. Robust teaching of knowledge and the application of skills ensure our pupils are properly equipped for their next stage of learning
  • Curriculum provision which inspires, motivates and broadens pupils’ aspirations
  • Through partnership work we continue to break down any locally perceived boundaries and help pupils to work harmoniously with pupils from other localities
  • We maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of each school by capitalising on centralised services and sharing systems and procedures
  • We have high expectations of all and for all. All staff work to uncompromising high standards with the principle aim to always find solutions when faced with any challenge.

 

The benefits of our collaborative working…

 

For staff

  • Our schools benefit from shared resources and expertise.
  • Our schools share established and effective school improvement systems and processes
  • Our schools can realise financial savings through increased purchasing power and over time these savings often translate into increased resources and curriculum opportunities.
  • Access to the very best quality training can be afforded through the sharing of expertise and pooling of financial resources for Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
  • Regardless of which school staff work in, staff are able to share knowledge with colleagues in different schools with similar challenges – this regular sharing of expertise is rare where small schools exist in isolation yet essential if staff are to stay abreast of the latest educational thinking and approaches to teaching and learning.

 

 

For pupils

  • The schools retain their own individuality and ethos but work together in creating joint approaches and activities ultimately increasing opportunities for pupils.
  • Access to high quality teaching and learning opportunities as staff continuously develop in their practice.
  • All of the schools are Church of England Schools and this offers even more opportunities to enhance the Christian ethos of the our schools.
  • Pupils can connect with other people from different schools which can aid transition to secondary school. This is particularly important in smaller schools or in smaller cohorts within a school.
  • Pupils can have increased access to learning resources.
