Gateway Trust
Oakfield Academy is part of 
The Gateway Trust.
The Gateway Trust is dynamic; driven by a deep-rooted belief in the principle of being 'stronger together'. Our collective strength comes from our shared expertise, skills, and experiences. It is through positive collaboration and partnerships that we effect meaningful change in the communities we serve. United in our ambition for our pupils, staff, and the broader community, we tirelessly strive to offer strong educational experiences for everyone.
At the core of The Gateway Trust is a commitment to excellence and a strong belief in the transformative power of education. Our aim is to grow each individual's potential and create an environment where everyone can flourish. We celebrate the distinctive characteristics of each school within our trust, committed to providing rich and varied experiences for all – each school is unique.
Our vision is both focused and clear: to enable every young person to achieve their maximum potential, supported by an ambitious curriculum, outstanding teaching and wider opportunities beyond the curriculum that are enriching and fuel curiosity.
We dedicate ourselves to preparing our students for a bright, dynamic future, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in a constantly evolving world. Together, I am confident about our continued progress towards creating a legacy of excellence, inclusivity, and opportunity.
Oakfield Academy was the first primary school to join the trust in 2019 and has gone from strength-to-strength over the years. Being part of an academy trust brings numerous advantages and opportunities, significantly enriching the educational experience for our pupils.
Unlike local authority schools, academies enjoy greater independence, allowing us to tailor our curriculum and resources to suit the unique needs and interests of our pupils.
In addition, being part of The Gateway Trust provides access to a wider array of resources and expertise. Our staff benefit from wider professional development opportunities, exchanging best practices and insights within a network of like-minded professionals. This collaborative atmosphere ensures that our teaching methods are continually evolving and enhancing, thus directly benefiting our pupils with the most effective and engaging learning experiences.
