We are delighted to welcome Clyst Vale Community College as they formally become part of our Trust today. They will join us in sharing our moral mission:

• To nurture and develop the ambition, talents and interests of every child​

• To break down the barriers that inhibit the opportunities and achievements of disadvantaged pupils so that they can go on to lead lives of choice and opportunity​

• To create a family of schools that are deeply and purposefully connected to their communities. #beliefineverychild

Hats off and thank you to our colleagues who have been through Ofsted under this new framework. There is no doubt that the bar is so much higher than under the old framework and achieving the expected standard is a significant success.

A particular highlight of this term has been the transfer of Tiverton High School to the Trust and so I would like to whole heartedly welcome all the staff of Tiverton to BEP. We are delighted to have you on the team and look forward very much to supporting the school to become a brilliant part of the Tiverton community in the months and years to come.

I am so proud of the uniqueness of the schools in BEP; how each one truly reflects their community and it is brilliant to celebrate this diversity both within and between our schools. Yet there are common threads that bind us together: kindness, inclusivity, opportunity and a fierce ambition for every child.
