Social justice through exceptional schools

Logo reads Teach Central, formally RSAA Teaching School Alliance Logo reads Haybridge Teaching School

Welcome to the Central Region Schools Trust website. We hope that the site gives you the information you would like to know about our Trust, how it operates, the schools in the Trust, and the benefits of being in the RSA Family of Academies.

The Central Region Schools Trust is a Multi-Academy Trust that has been established to have a strategic oversight of schools in the trust, including agreeing the annual plan and budget and monitoring progress against key performance indicators.


Realise Potential, Achieve Excellence, Broaden Opportunity

Teach Central, formerly the RSA Academies’ Teaching School Alliance, recruits and trains new entrants to the teaching profession, identifies leadership potential, and provides support for schools across the West Midlands, to transform outcomes for young people and bring about positive social change. We drive action research, undertake innovations in teaching, and optimise the talents and commitment of our staff to develop creative ways of providing education.


Teach Central was built with Research and Development at its heart

We believe that effective Research and Development begins with our students and a drive to improve their learning experience and educational outcomes. The power to transform education comes when schools collaborate and an active Research and Development culture can be found across all the schools in our Alliance.

Welcome to our Trust

We are a group of schools with a strong and powerful relationship with The Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (The RSA). The RSA has a strong history of supporting educational innovation, thinking and approaches, going back as far as the Nineteenth Century…

KASE

The leadership across our Trust has identified pupil knowledge, skills and attributes that we believe are key to the current and future success of the young people in our schools. Each school creates their own approach to developing the skills and attributes. These skills and attributes have an identified leader across the Trust to lead expert collaboration where the most effective practice emerges from within the Trust and beyond, then standardisation of approach will be agreed as appropriate.

Knowledge

Working with pupils to know understand and have mastered key concepts so that they develop the expertise to become fluent and excel within and across subject disciplines, locating their experiences within the broader sense of society.

Attributes of Character

To create the conditions in which attributes of character are nurtured, so that pupils can lead full active and successful lives which support their communities and the wider world.

Skills

Helping pupils to develop the skills needed for a successful and happy personal and professional life.

Experiences

Ensuring our pupils enjoy, experience excitement and find value in their school experience, through a very wide range of experiences that challenge and motivate them, providing aspiration and
demanding responsibility from them.
