Our Innovation Team works to drive forward new ideas, approaches, and technologies that support schools across the organisation. This page highlights what they’re focusing on right now, the projects currently underway, and the latest developments helping to enhance teaching, learning, and operational practice.
It’s a look at the work shaping a more forward-thinking, adaptable organisation—ensuring schools are supported to innovate, grow, and thrive.
Across the Trust, our Build Our Community (BOC) next steps work continues to gain momentum, with recent feedback meetings bringing together members of our Trust family. These conversations have provided valuable insight and are now informing focused meetings with Heads of Service to review progress against last term’s BOC targets and agree clear priorities for the term ahead. This ongoing cycle of listening, reflection and action is helping to ensure that improvement is rooted in lived experience and shared ownership.
The student device rollout across Primary Schools is progressing strongly. Sixteen of our twenty primary schools are now fully equipped with new student devices, actively using SharePoint and benefitting from full access to Office 365 tools, alongside Senso for device management. This represents a significant step forward in embedding digital learning and consistency across the Trust, and we look forward to supporting the remaining schools as they come online.
Our work around Catholic life and mission has centred on celebrating our unique Catholic identity and ensuring every voice within our Trust family is both heard and seen. This has included the continued development of the STOC voice ecosystem, alongside meaningful opportunities for participation—such as leading key events, showcasing artwork at Trust level, and celebrating faith and community through our social media channels. Together, these strands are helping to strengthen a shared culture of belonging, visibility and mission across all our schools.
