Three Spires Trust was established with Church Majority Articles in 2021.
Our Trust supports schools serving students from age 2 to 18, including primary, secondary, first, and middle schools. We also welcome non-designated faith schools to join our network.
The Trust has already established two hubs: the North Hub, covering North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, and the South Hub, covering Wolverhampton. We are eager to expand these hubs by growing both geographically and by adding more academies, such as exploring opportunities in Staffordshire Moorlands and Walsall. We also plan to establish a Central Hub, serving the areas of Lichfield and Stafford.
Our vision at Three Spires Trust is rooted in John 10:10, which says ‘I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.’ This verse is what motivates us to help our children, adults, schools, and the entire Trust thrive and flourish.
At Three Spires Trust, we’re dedicated to bringing the Church of England’s flourishing agenda to life, prioritizing the holistic development of our children, adults, academies, and the trust as a whole. Our strategic plan is built on this foundation, ensuring that every aspect of our work promotes growth and well-being.
Central to our uniqueness is our relational and inclusive approach. We believe in creating environments where everyone feels valued and supported, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging. This inclusive ethos extends to all stakeholders—students, staff, parents, and the wider community—ensuring that diverse needs are met with empathy and respect.
Our Institute of Education is a key differentiator, offering exceptional training, continuous professional development, and leadership opportunities for educators. By investing in our people, we ensure our academies are led by knowledgeable, skilled, and passionate professionals who deliver exceptional education.
In essence, Three Spires Trust is unique for its unwavering commitment to flourishing at every level, its inclusive and relational ethos, and its dedication to professional excellence. This unique combination creates a vibrant, supportive, and high-achieving educational community where everyone can thrive.
