Introducing CfBT Academies
As the country’s leading specialist not-for-profit education
consultancy, CfBT Education Trust is dedicated to developing best
practice and provision in support of learners. At the heart of our
work is the drive to raise aspirations, expectations and the
educational achievement of all members of the community. With an
Academy sponsored in partnership with CfBT Education Trust, this
vision becomes a reality.
CfBT Academies succeed through codes of self-discipline, mutual
respect, self-worth and pride in the reputation and identity of the
Academy.
CfBT-sponsored Academies aim to create:
- schools where every teacher is a leader and every student
readily accepts a responsibility for and commitment to their own
learning programme.
- learning environments where action research, the development of
best practice and the sharing of excellent teaching is the accepted
norm.
- opportunities which attract the ‘best of the best’ teachers
with structures and a curriculum that will challenge current
practice and promote innovative new practice.
- the establishment of training schools within schools for the
development of Advanced Skills Teachers and new graduate teachers.
The benefits to learners within the school are further enhanced by
a learning philosophy that embraces such notions as social
enterprise, global citizenship, a respect for inquiry and
reflection and a commitment for all learners to grow and develop
through a broadening of their own learning horizons.
With the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education and Toc H, CfBT
is the joint sponsor of St. Mark’s
Academy, Merton.
