Welcome to Pele Trust
I am proud of the strong and collaborative community we have built since forming Pele Trust in 2019. Our focus has always been on supporting our schools to drive improvements so that our children, pupils and students receive the best possible educational experience and achieve strong outcomes; this remains unchanged. Whether you’re a parent, staff member, or business partner, you’re a valued part of our team, and together, we will continue to be ambitious for our schools, pupils and the wider community.
