We are proud sponsors of the HEART Academies Trust, a multi-academy trust which opened in 2017 and comprises of Bedford Academy, Cauldwell Primary, Shackleton Primary and Shortstown Primary.

The core aim of the partnership is to create a family of academies who are at the heart of their community, delivering great education for pupils aged 4-18 and improving life chances for all.

The Trust’s overwhelming belief is that every child can be successful, both personally and academically, with early and effective help from staff that know and value them as an individual. They have high expectations of all members of their schools; children, young people and professionals alike are challenged and supported to achieve their very best.

A commitment to positive collaboration enables each academy within the Trust to celebrate what they already do well whilst providing opportunities to ensure continued development, raise standards and drive improvement across all academies.
