Summit Education Trust is
a family of schools at the heart of our
West Berkshire community.
Headteachers retain control of their school’s educational direction and character, supported by experienced professionals who understand the realities of school life and work alongside leaders, not above them. This shared model reduces duplication, improves risk management, and creates time, space and confidence for schools to focus on what matters most: high-quality education, strong staff teams and positive outcomes for pupils.
"Summit Education Trust exists to support schools in a practical, meaningful way and to help leaders focus on what matters most: children and young people thriving.
Our strength lies in partnership.
By bringing schools together, we share expertise, systems and support that save time, reduce cost and remove unnecessary duplication. This allows leaders and staff to concentrate on teaching, learning and building strong school communities.
Summit is not about central control. It is about trust, experience and people working alongside one another. When challenges arise, schools are supported by those who understand their context and are invested in their success."

CASE STUDY - Mrs H Anderton, Head of School
"Joining the Trust has been one of the most reassuring steps we have taken as a school. We still have complete ownership of our ethos and our day-to-day decisions, yet we now have a level of support and professional connection that simply did not exist before. The difference has been immediate. Our staff have access to subject networks, coaching and high-quality CPD, and this has lifted morale and confidence across the school.
What I value most is the leadership support. I no longer feel isolated when facing difficult decisions. There is always someone to talk to who understands the reality of running a school. The Trust team listens carefully and responds with solutions that genuinely make a difference to workload and wellbeing."
