The First Federation Trust has been a Multi Academy Trust for the last 10 years. Our Trust started life as a small group of schools in South Devon and our founding schools have been working together since 2006. We now have member schools in East, West, Mid and South Devon.

Our family of 16 schools are a wonderfully diverse mixture. They range from two-class village schools to larger, coastal town schools. Currently we are sponsoring five schools through their improvement journey whilst continuing to support our converter schools.

We are driven by our values and are committed to providing the best possible education for all the children in our schools.

The vision of the Trust is that every individual will aspire, flourish and achieve within the heart of their community.

We must believe there are no limits to what schools can achieve together.

The First Federation Trust is a clear example of a ‘hardwired’ learning community where everyone is responsible for the success of every school. All the staff are members of the Trust and believe in collaboration and the sharing of best practice. Research shows that when schools fully embrace the concepts of collaborative practice and collaborative capacity, they rapidly improve and become sustainable, high performing organisations.
