Joining Our Trust
The Benefits of Joining IFtL
At IFtL, we believe that every school thrives when it belongs to a community united by shared values, trust, and ambition. Joining our Trust means becoming part of a forward-thinking family of schools committed to collaboration, excellence, and continual improvement — where every colleague and learner is supported to flourish.
A culture of collaboration and innovation
Our schools work together as one professional learning community. Leaders and colleagues share expertise, ideas, and resources, shaping innovative approaches that make a real difference for children and young people. Every voice is valued, and collective problem-solving ensures that no school stands alone.
Tailored support
Each school of our schools are unique, and so is the support they receive. We work alongside leaders to build on individual strengths, provide high-quality professional development, and deliver tailored school improvement strategies that raise outcomes for all.
Professional growth and leadership development
We invest in our colleagues, offering pathways for career progression, leadership development, and continuous learning. Through collaboration, mentoring, and shared professional learning, we nurture excellence across every level of our organisation.
Strong governance and shared accountability
Our governance model empowers local leadership while benefiting from the strategic strength and expertise of our wider IFtL community. Schools joining us gain access to a robust support network that ensures stability, sustainability, and long-term success.
Shared values, shared success
Together, we celebrate achievements, embrace innovation, and hold an unwavering belief in the power of education to transform lives. Joining IFtL means being part of a family that is passionate about making a lasting difference — for our children, our colleagues, and our communities.
