Welcome to Shaftoe Trust Academy

As Executive Headteacher, I am delighted to welcome you to Shaftoe Trust Academy. We are a proud member of the WISE Academies family, where our shared mission is to provide an exceptional education that sparks curiosity and builds lasting confidence.

At Shaftoe Trust, we are more than just a school; we are a vibrant community rooted in the heart of Haydon Bridge. Working closely with Julie Phazey and our dedicated staff, my role is to ensure that our high expectations for academic success are matched by a deep commitment to the well-being and happiness of every pupil.

We believe children thrive when home and school work closely together. We nurture resilient, creative learners who are ready to make a positive impact on the world. I encourage you to visit us to experience the warmth and energy that make our school family so special.
