‘To excel in all that we do so that everyone flourishes and
achieves their full potential’.
The Trust was formed from the Leadership of Deyes High following successful collaborative
working and school to school support in the North-West. The Trust currently consists of
Deyes High School, Childwall Sports and Science Academy, a brand new Studio School which
opened in September 2016 and a teacher training centre.
Our ethos is rooted in the belief that every child is afforded the very best opportunities in life. We believe all pupils are entitled to attend a school where the aim is ‘To excel in all that
we do so that everyone flourishes and achieves their full potential’.
To achieve this we will: • Place teaching and learning at the centre of all that we do • Make the process of learning vivid and challenging • Determine the individual needs of every student • Have high expectations of every member of our School Community • Celebrate success in all aspects of school life
