About Us
We are an expanding, forward thinking Multi Academy Trust currently consisting of seven schools in and around Greater Manchester with schools covering each academic stage from nursery to Sixth Form level.
‘Our vision is the provision and development of a world class family of schools and to put systems in place to enable all to “achieve excellence” and to raise standards at all key stages’.
Our dedicated teams work across the Trust alongside each school to help each of them reach the heights they thrive for, instilled with the Crompton House ethos.
