About Discovery

At Discovery Trust, our mission is to ensure that all our pupils realise their potential. Our mission starts inside every school and central department. It is reflected in our culture and is reflected by all the colleagues we work with. In the pursuit of our mission, we employ a diverse range of highly talented people to co-construct the very best places to learn, with innovative solutions to ensure that all children achieve. Discovery continually builds to creating an organisation that celebrates individuality, initiative, ownership of colleagues’ responsibilities and intelligent collaboration.

Discovery Trust consists of fourteen primary schools, one of which is due to open September 2024, which are all rated as ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’. We also have 2 Outstanding SEMH Special Schools that have brought with them a wealth of experience in leading SEND in schools, working collaboratively as a Trust, both our colleagues and pupils have benefitted from sharing this expert knowledge. We are proud of our partnership with Discovery EPIC Psychology and Wellbeing Service and Discovery SALT service which work closely with our schools to meet the needs of our children. We are a leading provider of our own high[1]quality SCITT (School Centred Initial Teacher Training), training teachers in both primary and secondary phases. We are proud that we have over 60 of our trainees, currently working as teachers within the trust. We continue to work hard on our Trust growth strategy and have a number of schools that are in the process of exploring joining Discovery, including a local secondary school and a special school that will enhance our education offer. Discovery offers a wide range of leadership networks for Headteachers and curriculum leaders. We provide our schools with an aligned curriculum and teaching and learning frameworks for schools to personalise for their context. Discovery’s school improvement team has a wealth of experience to support headteachers and school leaders to facilitate excellence in all that they do. We provide a range of frameworks for leaders to reflect and evaluate themselves against, whilst providing moderation support for judgements and evaluations
