Our Social Value Commitment
Our vision, from our inception in 2002, has been to improve the life chances of young people. This is the driving force behind everything the business does, as well as the people it employs.
This has manifested itself in many ways over the past twenty years, including; advising how new buildings can help deliver transformation in educational outcomes; managing the opening of new schools in the most disadvantaged parts of the country; generating tens of millions of pounds worth of savings for schools by delivering innovation in public sector procurement; and in the same year that the Social Value Act came into law established its own multi-academy trust, Bellevue Place Education Trust, to provide new outstanding schools to serve some of the most deprived communities across London and the south east.
We welcomed the Government’s new Social Value Act measures in 2021 to deliver value to society through public procurement, to promote new jobs and skills, encourage economic growth and prosperity and tackle climate change. In response to this, we have made a new commitment to contribute to adding value through our work.
Awards and Accreditations
We are proud to have achieved the following awards and accreditations for our work supporting schools and MATs across the country.
Bellevue Place Education Trust
Learn, Enjoy, Succeed
Our Multi-Academy Trust supports ten primary schools across London and Berkshire, with a total of 3,300 pupils.
Our vision is for all pupils and staff to enjoy a broad and enriched learning experience, enabling them to achieve far greater individual success than they might previously have thought possible. All our schools are focused on delivering a high-quality provision in areas where there is a shortage of primary school places.
All schools have been judged by Ofsted to be Good, with three schools judged as Outstanding. Pupil achievement is high, driven by a broad and balanced curriculum delivered across all schools. In addition, 225 extended school activities are offered a week, with 79% of pupils attending at least one club a week.
