Successful school improvement from collaboration and developing leadership skills

The Character Education Trust has an excellent track record of successful school improvement and strives to offer students the high quality education that they all deserve.

We have a collaborative approach to our work and recognise that all schools can contribute to the Trust. The impact of our work speaks for itself as our schools are now oversubscribed, financially stable, have consistently strong or improving outcomes for students and are great places to work.

We also have a proud track record of supporting our schools in preparing for inspection. In the last 3 years we have had 4 Ofsted inspections with the quality of leadership being judged as ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ in all of them. In May 2019 Wrotham School was judged ‘Good’ overall with the Quality of Leadership and the Quality of Personal Development judged as ‘Outstanding’.

In March 2020 Aylesford School was inspected under the new Ofsted Framework, and we are delighted that the school was judged to be ‘Good’ in all areas. The report recognises the impact of our work on developing good character in our students and using it a focus for the school.
