Aspire, Belong, Achieve

"For the tree is known by its fruit" Matthew 12:33

The Three Trees Academies joined Rise Multi Academy Trust on 1st September 2023. The new name for the two schools was chosen to reflect the school's position in the National Forest, to signify growth and strength and to draw on the Christian folktale of the Three Trees. In this well known tale, three trees each have a dream to become something aspirational.  By the end of the story, each tree becomes something that is of huge value to the Christian faith. They achieve something far better than they could ever have aspired to. This is some we wish for our pupils, families, staff and the wider community.  

Our Ethos

Just as three strong trees stand tall and resilient together, our ethos is to:

• Aspire - Everyone in the school community is encouraged and challenged to have big dreams for their future. They know and understand that they will be supported and that they have been created for a good purpose and plan. Just like the trees in the folktale the possibilities for pupils and staff at Three Trees is limitless.

• Belong – We believe that belonging comes from recognising that we all have different talents, skills and abilities and that we use them wisely to bring joy and to flourish as a school community. Everyone's talents, skills and abilities are needed and valued. Just like trees, our pupils and staff are rooted in their community, we belong to the school, to the multi-academy trust, to the Diocese of Leicester and the Church of England for our Junior School and to the wider education system.

• Achieve - As we belong together in love and encourage one another to dream big, all can achieve, and succeed knowing they are loved by their school community, just as God loves us. Our aim is to ensure that our pupils have choices as they leave our school. We are committed to ensuring all pupils achieve academically and that staff receive high-quality professional development to be the best they can be. 

Our Core Values

These values guide every decision we make and shape the daily life of our academies. From the classroom to the playground, they help our children become respectful citizens, confident learners, and compassionate human beings.

Together with our dedicated staff, supportive families, and the wider community, we are proud to help children grow strong roots and reach for the sky.
