Invictus Education Trust
Our Culture
Invictus Education Trust: A Culture of Collaboration and Core Values
The Invictus Education Trust was established in March 2015 by a group of like-minded schools – Crestwood, Ellowes Hall Sports College, Kinver High, and Wombourne High School – united by a shared vision to deliver exceptional education. Since then, our Trust has continued to grow, welcoming Leasowes High School in Autumn 2016 and Pedmore High School in September 2018, further strengthening our thriving community. In 2021, Rufford Primary School and Nursery became the first primary school to join our Trust, marking an exciting new chapter in our journey.
What truly sets Invictus apart from other Multi Academy Trusts is our deep commitment to collaboration. Across all our schools, we work together in every aspect to ensure that our students, staff, parents, and wider communities thrive.
At the heart of our approach is the Invictus Culture, which is built around our core values of respect, resilience and relationships. These values define who we are and how we operate, creating an environment where every individual feels supported, valued and empowered to succeed.
By embracing collaboration and living our values, we ensure that the Invictus community benefits from shared expertise, innovation and a united vision. Together, we’re creating an inspiring and inclusive culture where students flourish, staff thrive and strong relationships are nurtured across our schools and communities.
OUR BIG AMBITIONS
- Our influence will be of significance locally and we will become nationally important.
- We are truly ambitious and by 2030, our expectation is that all of our schools will be securely good or outstanding. Where they are not, they will either be moving to outstanding, or rapidly moving to good because they have recently joined the Trust on a Requires Improvement or Special Measures judgement.
- We will enrich the lives of our pupils and staff through an unrelenting focus on inclusion and well-being for all.
- In all of our schools we will develop and retain excellent Teaching and Professional staff because they want to work for us.
- We will become pivotal and engaged in the harmonisation, cultural and economic development of our communities, growing and extending our reach to improve life chances and contribute to the social development of our existing or other communities.
- We will become innovative and forward-thinking, working beyond our funding constraints to deliver through groundbreaking technologies and physical environments that support significant advancements in educational attainment.
Our ambitions will be threaded and delivered through our enabling strategies.
Together we will
