Our Staff Wellbeing

Preston Hedges Trust offers the absolute best opportunities to all our children in each of our schools. Our highly skilled, energetic, and creative teaching staff make sure we constantly drive forward standards and deliver continuous improvement across all our schools – regardless of where they are on their individual journeys.  In 2023, the Trust collected two prestigious national education awards – including being named the country’s best Academy Trust – recognising our exceptional work in outstanding, good, new, and improving schools. We were awarded Best Small Trust and the blue ribband Best Multi Academy Trust awards at the Multi Academy Trust Association Awards in London in March 2023.
