Message from the CEO

Cirrus Primary Academy Trust was incorporated in June 2015 as a multi-academy trust for primary schools. The Trust is made up of 5 primary schools situated in the London Borough of Sutton.

The core purpose of the Trust is to develop the very best organisations to ensure that children do exceptionally well and are prepared for the future, based on the principle of equality of opportunity for all. This core purpose drives our direction, decisions and actions.

Every school in Cirrus Primary Academy Trust has the commitment that it can and should be its own, unique setting. However, each school shares a relentless focus on personalised planning and having the highest aspirations for what children can achieve. This core value of being child-centred is an intrinsic part of every school’s DNA, and is the minimum standard expected of all employees of the Trust.

I am very proud to be the CEO of Cirrus Primary Academy Trust (CPAT) and to work with like-minded and ambitious headteachers and trustees. The Board of CPAT is determined to see a high performing multi-academy trust that delivers the very best educational experience for pupils.

The information on our website sets out our vision for the Trust, ensuring that there is a clear focus on improving leadership and governance, and teaching and learning, and on raising standards. We have a cost effective organisation and a business model that delivers efficiency, effectiveness and growing economies of scale in order to free up more resources for the front line. I am very glad to have a strong board of trustees which provides the effective support and challenge required to ensure that the Trust is a good employer, and as a multi-academy trust, an effective home for our schools, with the leadership and track record to succeed.

It is often said that each child gets one chance of education. Our role is to ensure that our pupils make the most of their opportunities by ensuring that our schools aspire to and reach the highest standards. I look forward to an exciting future for the Trust and all its stakeholders.

Sharon Roberts - CEO
