Westcountry Schools Trust (WeST) are extremely pleased to continue our longstanding relationship with the World Class Schools network. The ability to share, collaborate and network with other trusts in the World Class Trust family was one not to be missed. We know that our fantastic students will relish connecting with, and sharing learning experiences, with students from across World Class Trusts.

We believe our children at Transform Trust are simply World Class. Being part of WCSQM not only endorses our belief but gives our children the autonomy and opportunity to define what it means – and looks like – to be ‘World Class’ today. As an external platform created entirely for children, WCSQM aligns with our holistic approach of developing positive characteristics of the whole child – as it encourages pro-active participation, a sense of community and provides invaluable experiences and enhancements to their enrichment journey. 
Our family of twenty schools across Derby and Nottingham are based in loving, vibrant and diverse communities that experience a range of social and economic inequality. We know that quality, inclusive education, inside and outside of the classroom, is the key to equality and better life chances. Underpinned by an inspiring and relevant curriculum and our core values – RESPECT, KINDNESS, EQUALITY, CREATIVITY – our extracurricular activities and experiences are designed to broaden their horizons, raise aspirations and develop their character. We want to instil within our children a sense of purpose and a firm belief that they can achieve wonderful things. We will never tire of finding new ways to build resilience and confidence, spark curiosity and engagement and encourage empathy, respect and tolerance. We believe these are the essential values and life skills our children need to exceed expectations, fulfil their potential and positive roles as true global citizens within ever-changing communities.
St Cuthbert’s Roman Catholic Multi Academy Trust is made up of a group of eight schools working together to provide the best opportunities for every child. A core aspect of the collaborative working is to ensure good Catholic education for all, upholding the key mission of ensuring that Christ is at the centre of all of that we do.

The Spencer Academies Trust are delighted to become one of several prestigious World Class Academy Trusts. The Trust is proud of its world class heritage – Wyndham Spencer Academy was one of the first primary schools to be accredited as World Class, whilst Rushcliffe Spencer and George Spencer Academies were the first World Class secondaries in the East Midlands Area. St Giles Spencer is also a flagship world class special school.
This partnership recognises the very special students that The Spencer Academies Trust helps to foster and the Trust are excited about several other schools across all phases also gaining World Class status in this, their tenth year as MAT.
Sapientia Education Trust currently runs 16 schools in Norfolk and Suffolk. Our vision is to provide ‘ a world class education, locally, enabling every pupil to flourish.’ We have 6 secondary schools and 10 primary schools. Our schools differ in context and style, but share a commitment to providing a world-class education, locally. Our schools include two accredited World Class schools: Wymondham College, the largest state boarding school in the country and Seething and Mundham Primary School, serving a rural community in Norfolk. Collectively we educate around 6000 pupils and employ over 1000 staff.
Our vision of education is strongly focussed on providing a well rounded, holistic education. Our schools actively promote character education and ensure that pupils are provided with life changing opportunities, within and beyond the classroom. In a recent Ofsted report Rockland St Mary Primary School was described as ‘ small school offering big opportunities.’ The extra-curricular life of our schools is strong – sport, music, drama, debating, cadets, Duke of Edinburgh all feature heavily in our secondary schools, as do regular trips and visits in all of our schools – extending learning beyond the classroom. Our schools are vibrant places, that encourage curiosity and questioning. Pupils are at the heart of all we do.
This is underpinned by a strong commitment to high academic standards. Our record of school improvement is strong. As Ofsted reported at Attlebourgh Academy the trust has ‘added ambition … expertise and impetus.’ Crucially, we believe that a world-class education is not just about grades and results – it’s about instilling belief and confidence in our pupils so that they can flouish. We are a distinctive trust and look forward to collaborating with other trusts nationally, who share our passion for a genuinely world-class education.

In 2015 Trinity MAT was established. It now contains ten academies covering from nursery stage through to post-16, including two brand new secondary schools that opened in September 2021, plus a further new secondary free school planned in the near future. The MAT has seen numerous educational changes but our vision remains constant – all our students will be given every opportunity to gain the knowledge, habits, values and ambition to achieve their aspirations; their education will be transformational, and that is as complicated as we allow it to become.
