Furness Education Trust

Furness Education Trust is a family of schools, supporting children and families in the community of Barrow-in-Furness and the Furness Peninsula. A multi-academy trust currently comprised of six academies, one secondary and five primary and our teaching training provision, South Cumbria School Direct. The Trust aims to develop best practice in each school. This is delivered by collaborating and working together to give the best of everything to every child in our schools. In short, Furness Education Trust delivers seamless education built on collaboration.

Furness Education Trust plays a pivotal role in raising aspirations for children in Barrow. The supportive family feel to the Trust thrives within an encouraging leadership attitude of ‘see it, fix it, sort it’. The Trust, and each school that joins it, adopt this approach of resolving a problem when it arises and being supported by a network of peers across the schools and the Trust. Whilst schools maintain their own individuality, we work together on common goals to deliver improved education and excellence, in partnership with our parents and wider community. Ultimately, everyone succeeds together. #FurnessFamily
