Societas Multiacademy Trust

Summerbank is part of the Societas Trust, which is made up of five primary academies in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire.  The Trust has grown out of the collaborative work of the Headteachers of these five schools, formalising a shared commitment to the continuing development of each of the Academies.

Providing great learning opportunities and outcomes for all are at the heart of the Societas Vision, within a like-minded community which also celebrates diversity.  Through our commitment to the vision everyone is valued and encouraged to excel.

To support this commitment, we:

• work collaboratively, not competitively;
• maintain the leadership structure within each academy ( no executive head/ lead school);
• retain individual governing bodies within each academy.

To ensure each academy has an equal voice in the work of the Trust as a whole, a unique governance structure has been developed where each school / academy has a seat on the Directors’ Board and on the Executive.                 

The Societas Trust website offers more detail on the principles of the Trust, policies, personnel and the other founding academies.  Key information about the trust can be found below.
