The Belvoir High School Trust

The school intends to use the Trust to enhance the curriculum and establish progression routes into post 16 education, training and employment which will help to regenerate and sustain the Vale of Belvoir communities.

This single school trust opened in February 2008. Belvoir High School had been part of the Leicestershire 3 tier system of schooling until Leicestershire LA decided to review its educational provision in the Melton Mowbray area and decided to implement a 2 tier system, where the other high schools and the upper school will become 11-16 schools, the primaries will change from 3-10 to 3-11, and there will be one sixth form school for the area. September 2008 saw the first year 10 intake for Belvoir High and the primary schools retained the year 6 students.

Partners:

• Brooksby Melton FE College
• PC World
• Church of England
• Leicestershire LA
• Parents’ Action Group – Buckminster Estates
• National Farming Union
• British Geological Survey.

The strategic involvement of Trust partners has been to be used a sounding board for the school expansion plans, especially in terms of the KS4 curriculum. A particular contribution from the trust partners was to comment on how the curriculum would fit in with the local economy.

Examples of Trust impact include:

• Work placements for disaffected KS4 students
• Liaising with Brooksby College over Diplomas
• Expanding the age range of the school
• ICT support - through technical advice and support from a trust partner
• Developing the science curriculum with help and advice from a trust partner, the British Geological survey
• Stronger leadership and direction within the Governing Body
• Clearer focus on school priorities for the School leadership team.

The future plans of the Trust are to consolidate and build on maintaining attainment at KS3 and effective transfer to KS4, providing a wide curriculum offer and support, and developing students as learners who can take a valued place in the community.

‘Trust status gives a way of formalising relationships with partners without the time constraints of being a governor.’

John Sherwin, Headteacher.
