Excel Learning Trust
The vision for the Excel Learning Trust is to build on the school’s ongoing commitment to promoting the physical and emotional health and well-being of young people within Boston Spa School, it’s partner schools and wider community, in the strong belief that this will lead to greater engagement with learning, raised attainment and improved aspirations.
The trust is embedding current good practice and has entered into more formal relationships with existing partners and is developing new partnerships to increase impact. The Trust’s aim is to sustain participation in active, healthy and successful lifestyles within the school and wider community.
The Trust includes a wide range of formal and informal partners who are working together to deliver on the Trust Development Plan
