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.

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.
