Why Choose our Trust

Our ambition for Hive Education Trust is to grow a thriving community of between three and five schools in the London region. We believe in collaboration, not competition. And we have much to offer; here’s just a few examples.

Helping you to lighten your load

We understand first–hand the challenges of establishing and maintaining a busy London school. So we can offer you real, practical support and individually tailored advice. We’ll lighten your load, helping you to create time and space to focus on what makes your school happy and successful. Our CEO and senior team possess the skill and experience to quickly assess your situation, and to work with you to identify areas that can deliver fast results. 

Bringing more power to your elbow 

Being part of Hive can bring economies of scale not only in terms of finance, but also of time. We can offer wraparound care and support in whichever areas you need. You’ll have access to our specialist teams in Finance, HR, Admin, IT, SEND, Teaching & Learning, Raising Standards and more. In addition to sharing the expertise of our team, we’ve created a library of bespoke digital resources ready to share with you – saving your staff time and ensuring consistently high standards. 

Raising standards quickly and effectively

We have an effective programme of training and development for all staff, raising everyone to an outstanding level of excellence. The programme includes online training courses, a weekly professional development session, and well-written guides to best practice for your staff to follow. 

Better career opportunities mean better recruitment

Being part of a larger group can aid recruitment and retention, as staff are able to develop their careers within our community of schools. And our Continuing Professional Development programme helps to train and retain the best team.

We’ve already made the mistakes... so YOU don’t have to

Our senior team have many years’ experience in education, including 14 years building an Ofsted-Outstanding, happy and successful school in North London. We’d love to share our experience. Why not learn from our early mistakes, so you don’t have to make your own?

A sounding board and shared community

When you’re part of Hive, you won’t be working alone any more: you’ll be part of a strong, ambitious, happy and successful community. Working together with other schools can enrich us all – pooling our experience, offering guidance when called upon, and learning from each other. We’d love to share what we know, and to learn from you in turn.

Let us welcome you into our happy and successful Hive Education community.
