Academies
As we have grown, we have adapted. This ensures we have the necessary capacity and expertise in order to sustain and develop excellent performance across our academies.
Careers
We invest heavily in the people who work across REAch2 to ensure they have the tools they need, offering regular training opportunities to make sure they are as effective as possible.
“We all know that an outstanding education has the power to change lives, and our team are totally committed to our mission"
11 Before 11 is our set of essential promises to help our children unlock their potential, their view of the wider world and their future. They are a series of seminal experiences that we want every child in the REAch2 family to have experienced before they leave us to go to secondary school aged 11.
