On 1st December 2015, six schools in East Dorset formally joined together to create The Heath Academy Trust providing education for pupils from nursery up to the age of 11 in East Dorset. These successful schools had worked collaboratively for several years and combined in order to capitalise on the benefits of being in a multi academy trust in enhancing the learning experience for all pupils. The schools within the Trust are committed to improving teaching and learning.
The Trust aims to provide a high quality, inclusive and effective learning environment producing an excellent performance from our children, and to engender a love of learning and a passion for excellence in all areas of school life. We will define a culture of high aspiration, to champion equality for all children and support clear lines of accountability, underpinned by strong, tailored school improvement and management systems within a professional learning environment.
CPD and Staff Development
The Heath Academy Trust provides CPD opportunities across the Trust to ensure the continued development of our staff’s skills and expertise. We provide regular opportunities for staff on every level to network, exchange ideas and talk through best practices. Every year, we hold an annual conference to bring all of our staff together for a day of networking, learning, and motivation for the year ahead. In previous years, we have held our conference at AFC Bournemouth and have had a range of speakers including Eddie Howe (previous AFC Bournemouth Manager), Aaron Phipps (Paralympian), Gavin Oattes (Tree of Knowledge), and David Cameron (The Real David Cameron).
We offer a comprehensive package of services to our Trust schools via our Central Team.
