We are proud to share that four schools within Mercia Learning Trust have received letters from the Secretary of State for Education recognising their strong attainment outcomes for disadvantaged pupils.
This national recognition reflects sustained work across our schools to ensure that disadvantage does not limit opportunity. High expectations, strong teaching and purposeful support are embedded in daily practice, with staff working relentlessly to remove barriers and help pupils achieve their full potential.
These outcomes are not the result of a single initiative or moment in time. They are built through consistent classroom practice, strong pastoral care and leadership structures that place inclusion, ambition and equity at their heart.
This recognition speaks directly to our trust mission: to empower everyone in our communities, especially the most disadvantaged, to succeed. We are incredibly proud of the pupils, staff and families whose commitment continues to make a meaningful difference to children and young people across our trust.
