2015-16 has seen the launch of a range of events aimed at bringing children together from across the Trust to work together, learn from each other and to engage in inspirational events. A huge thank you to the members of staff within each school that have worked tirelessly to host inspirational events aimed at providing exciting opportunities for our children. June will be a busy month with three events.
Date: Tuesday 2 February 2016
Time: 5pm to 8pm
Venue: The National College for Teaching and Leadership, Triumph Road, Nottingham
Use NG7 2TU on a sat nav system
Parking: Free and onsite at the National College
The evening will include a welcome and presentation from the Flying High Trust central team: who we are, background, vision, values and opportunities for staff throughout their career The Trust currently consists of nine schools as listed below. Each school will be represented on the evening by a member of their Senior Leadership Team, a trainee teacher and/or NQT and a mix of other roles across the Trust including School Business Manager, Site Manager, office staff and TAs. There will then be the opportunity to meet with each school to discuss current vacancies, teacher training places and career development opportunities. The idea is to enable everyone attending to be aware of opportunities and how to apply for permanent positions or for places on our SCITT (School Centred Initial Teacher Training).

FHT are proud to welcome our newest academy, Ernehale Junior School in Arnold, having joined us 1st April 2015. Ernehale bring a wealth of expertise to the Trust and share our ethos of aspiring to be the very best to ensure our children realise their potential within a creative, innovative, safe and fun environment.
The Flying High Trust, which runs The Flying High Academy in Mansfield; Peafield Lane Academy in Mansfield Woodhouse; and Bilsthorpe Flying High Academy, was labelled the Oxbridge of primary education at its first awards ceremony.
Seven groups of awards — aspiration, responsibility, creativity, pride, confidence, perseverance and enjoyment — reflecting the trust’s ethos were given.
Andrew Garner, the former chairman and chief executive of Boyden World Corporation who also taught at Harvard University, said the trust had courage and vision.
“There is no Oxford and Cambridge in primary education — there is now, and it’s The Flying High Trust,” he said. “You must see this as an opportunity to build on this phenomenon and the spirit behind it that you have all witnessed tonight.”
Chris Wheatley, chief executive of the trust, said: “Our first annual awards evening has been a huge success — celebrating our values as a trust with our children, staff, parents, wider members of the community and our industry partners.
“Our values represent everything our schools look to develop within children by the time they leave their school. We want our schools to ensure that their children look back with pride and forward with confidence.”
