Information about the School

Welcome to The Epping Forest Schools Partnership Trust, a Multi-Academy Trust of fifteen Primary and one Special School all based in the Epping Forest District. Along with our SCITT (School-Centred Initial Teacher Training), School Improvement Team, Wellbeing Service, and Resourced Provisions based in three of our schools, we are a leading educational organisation in Epping Forest.

EFSPT was formed in 2018 from a consortium of schools that had worked together for over 20 years, and are committed to collaborative working to ensure the best possible outcomes for our children and school communities. The schools maintain their identities but work in a highly collaborative manner supported by a small but very experienced Central Team.

Our Mission is to provide an exceptional education that is inclusive and challenging for all and that provides wider opportunities for the children within the EFSPT to flourish.

We have an uncompromising ambition to use The Power of Collaboration to provide outstanding provision through:

An inclusive, unrelenting focus on high-quality first-teaching A rich, broad, and stimulating curriculum A high aspiration for all children regardless of their background to achieve aspirational outcomes A wide range of experiences to develop the whole child An environment where good mental health and well-being are nurtured A safeguarding culture to respond to our local context and the needs of our pupils Strong foundations for the next stage of education or employment

EFSPT is committed to Trauma Perceptive Practice; the Essex approach to understanding behaviour and supporting emotional well-being. Being trauma-perceptive means that through our values, policies, and practice, we can effectively support the children, families, and communities in our Trust, creating spaces of belonging and safety that enable everyone to flourish, become resilient, and learn.

We are an Equal Opportunities employer committed to safeguarding our school's communities. The appointment will therefore be subject to satisfactory references and enhanced DBS checks.

EFSPT has a robust Governance Structure in place. In addition to the Board of Trustees and their associated committees, each Academy has its own Local Governing Committee supported by a Governance Professional. An annual cycle of meetings has been established and the responsibilities of each committee is detailed in the Trust Scheme of Delegation and the committee's Terms of Reference.
