School Excellence Through Agile Alignment
At INOVA Multi-Academy Trust we believe that excellence in education comes from empowering schools to thrive as distinctive and community focused places.
Our approach ensures that each school can maintain its individual identity while benefiting from shared goals, resources and collaboration across the Trust.
Each School Adds Value
Every school in our Trust is different - and that's exactly how we like it. This diversity strengthens our collective work and enriches the learning experience for everyone:
- Diverse Perspectives and Practices: Each school contributes unique approaches, sparking fresh thinking and innovation.
- Tailored Support for Pupils: Schools know their pupils and communities best, which helps shape support that's just right for them.
- Local Connections: Our schools are rooted in their local areas. These strong ties help us to stay grounded and responsive.
- Great For Staff Development: Staff benefit from varied environments and ideas - so there's always something new to learn.
- Built-in Resilience: Our schools have different strengths, and that makes us more flexible and supportive when challenges arise.
- Shared Success. Not Uniformity: We don't believe in one-size fits all. Every school's achievements matter, and we celebrate them as part of our shared success.
So, what is Agile Alignment?
It's our way of making sure schools are supported within a shared framework of accountability - without being told exactly what to do. This allows us to:
- Empower Leadership: Giving school leaders the freedom to lead creatively while staying connected to shared strategic goals.
- Reduce Workload: Streamlining practices and sharing what works, so teachers can focus on what matters most.
- Enhance Professional Development: Providing specialist training and support at scale through our Institute of Talent
- Facilitate Collaboration: Linking subject leaders to shape curriculum and assessment approaches. Find Out More

Implement Common Assessment Points: Enabling moderation and responsive interventions across schools.
-
Benchmark Performance: Using data to compare outcomes and identify areas for improvement.
- Centralise Resources: Offering shared resources - from trips to competitions and curriculum tools - that reduce duplication and broaden experiences. Find Out More
- Maintain Quality Assurance: Delivering robust systems that ensure high standards and prompt support where needed. Find Out More
Our Commitment to School Improvement
We are proud of the diversity and strength of our schools. When one school excels we all benefit - and when challenges arise, we act together. If a school is not meeting expectations or needs additional support, we step in with compassion and determination. We walk alongside our schools, not ahead of them - because we believe that sustainable improvement is built through collaboration, trust and shared ambition.
