About us
Berrow Primary Church Academy is currently part of The Priory Learning Trust, a group of like-minded schools whose shared ambition is to provide A Great Education for Every Child. Whilst Berrow Primary retains its own unique identity and ethos, being part of a family of schools brings additional support as well as opportunities to share expertise, provision and costs across our schools.
From September, we will be part of the newly formed Pathway Trust. Our new trust brings together two existing organisations, Castle School Education Trust and The Priory Learning Trust who have been working closely together over the last few years with great success. Pathway Trust will comprise seven secondary and thirteen primary schools across Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. We educate children from 2-18 years old. We have a strong track record of school improvement and a positive trend of improved outcomes. We are bringing together the complementary strengths and values of both trusts, with the sharing of resources and expertise across an extended network of schools enabling us to further invest in leadership and teaching for the benefit of all.
As a trust, our ambition is to enable every child to experience a great education. We have a compelling vision for each of our schools based on a deep understanding of each community we serve. Many of the challenges facing school leaders are common to all schools. Our approach to school improvement enables staff and pupils to benefit from the sharing of resources and expertise whilst remaining true to their unique identity and context. The Trust has employee development as a key priority.
