Welcome to the Aspire Academy Trust

Aspire is a vibrant, highly successful and widely recognised Trust determined to raise standards of educational achievement to the very highest levels. We don’t just aim for our children to achieve what is average or expected, but for them to excel both academically and in character.

We live in a global economy that requires our children to be prepared to think both critically and creatively, solve complex problems, and to communicate well. Mastery of the basics: reading, writing, maths and technology is our core purpose, and this sits firmly alongside ensuring our children have well-developed social and emotional skills. Aspire academies have a strong emphasis on the sport, arts and social, moral spiritual and cultural education.

All our 28 schools and academies are an integral part of their local communities and have a real sense of identity. We value the contribution each of our communities makes and the distinctive opportunities and diversity it offers to the Trust. By working in true partnership, we offer exceptional learning experiences to all our children, so they benefit from the strength that being part of the extended Aspire family brings. If you want to learn more about us, then please visit our website at www.aspireacademytrust.org

I look forward to hopefully welcoming you to the Aspire family!

Vision & Values

Our school motto is 'Aspire to Achieve' and this is reflected in all that we do. Our engaging and purposeful curriculum enables all children to be successful in school. We have 6 values: resilience, integrity, aspiration, reliability, kindness and empathy and teach the children to demonstrate these values in their play and learning.

Trauma-Informed Schools

Trauma Informed Schools UK is a registered community interest company working in association with the Centre for Child Mental Health. It provides training to ensure that every adult in a school or community has the skills and understanding to respond appropriately to the relational and emotional needs children may display.

TiS supports schools to create a mentally healthy environment and culture in which all within the school community, adults and children alike, can flourish and achieve. It advocates a whole school response and evidenced based relational approaches to provide an enriched environment to buffer the impact of stress that may result from adversity and painful life events.

In addition, specially trained Trauma and Mental Health Informed Practitioners offer targeted intervention to children who may be experiencing challenges within their life that without support may act as a barrier to their ability to fully engage with life and learning.

Our Curriculum

At Truro Learning Academy we follow the 'Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework'. Our exciting curriculum ensures children embed their basic skills and knowledge leading them to become active learners and creative thinkers. We are a Read, Write Inc school and ensure all children leave Reception with a love of reading. The amazing grounds to the school ensure we can go big and outdoors with our learning as much as possible. We teach our children to become independent, resilient and confident to go into Year 1.
