Three Counties Academy Trust is a small regional trust based in the northern part of Herefordshire and bordering both Worcestershire and Shropshire. Currently the trust comprises four schools.

Three Counties Academy Trust allows these local schools to collaborate to improve the educational offer for their pupils. Over time, the trust seeks new entrants to the trust that will further strengthen and enhance local provision. The trust will engage in meaningful collaborative work with schools and trusts outside Three Counties Academy Trust where appropriate to do so. This collaboration will not be restricted by locality, and schools or trusts wishing to have conversations should approach the trust directly to do so.

As a rural trust, we have a very good insight into what makes small rural schools work, the challenges they face and what opportunities may be present for them. Our schools retain their individuality and the long and rich history they have is both respected and celebrated.

We work closely with all of our stakeholders and play a central role within our local community for the benefit of all.

Mr Martin Farmer BEd (hons), NPQH, NPQEL

Executive Headteacher/CEO Three Counties Academy Trust

Three Counties Academy Trust exists to provide a holistic educational pathway for all of the children in its care from the Early Years to Key Stage 4, which values and promotes both the academic and vocational, in order to unlock the potential in all of our children. We recognise that our schools and wider communities are made up of many individual parts, brought together for the benefit of all.

For our schools, we want to develop a strong network of effective local leadership, supported by equally robust collective administration. Each school has its own heritage and rich traditions that this trust is proud of and seeks to protect, support, and promote. For our staff, we will endeavour to provide a stable and supportive organisation that considers their needs and allows them to develop and achieve their ambitions in life through opportunities we provide, and, for our community, we want to deliver an educational offer that they are proud of and support as it seeks to develop the future members of their community with our schools at the heart of it.
