Sutton Bonington Primary School is part of the Equals Trust and as of September 2024, we hold academy status. 

Founded in September 2016, Equals Trust, is a primary multi-academy trust based on the principle of equality with the aim of allowing member schools to maintain their ethos and unique identities within a tight local network, with strong mutual accountability, shared support services and a strong collaborative approach to staff development and school improvement.

We work collaboratively together with a clear purpose and direction, where:

• teaching and learning is at the centre of all we do;
• children enjoy, and are engaged in, a curriculum that challenges and excites them;
• we develop responsible citizens who value diversity;
• we ensure a culture of high expectations amongst all our children;
• children value themselves and each other, developing the self-confidence and resilience  to face future challenges;
• the contributions made by all stakeholders are valued.

We work effectively in school partnerships to enhance our provision by:

• extending the learning opportunities and activities for pupils;
• enriching the curriculum through partnership working and shared resources;
• enabling the greater sharing of excellent teaching and learning;
• enhancing the professional development of teaching and support staff;
• building mutual support and accountability for Headteachers and Governors;
• securing cost and resource efficiencies through joint commissioning.
