Discovery Trust

About Discovery Trust

Discovery Trust is a dynamic and inclusive Multi Academy Trust comprising of 20 schools; fifteen primary schools, four specialist provisions and one secondary school. We are committed to transforming education and unlocking potential for every pupil, every colleague and every community we serve. Founded in 2012, Discovery began as a collaboration between Kibworth CofE and Parkland Primary School. The name “Discovery” originated from Kibworth’s strapline, “Place of Discovery and Friendship.” This word has held significant meaning for us, as the creation of our Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) was a novel concept, and we were collectively discovering its potential and implications. At the heart of Discovery are our values of Belonging, Ambition , and Equity. We believe every pupil and colleague should feel seen, supported, and celebrated. These values shape our culture and guide our decisions, ensuring that everyone in our Trust community has the opportunity to thrive. We’ve built a strong infrastructure of support tailored to the needs of our schools. This includes our Outstanding SCITT (School-Centred Initial Teacher Training) for both primary and secondary trainees, along with Education Psychology & Wellbeing Services. These centralised services enable our schools to focus on what matters most: teaching and learning. We are passionate about curriculum innovation and foster collaboration across our schools to build exciting learning experiences. Our dedicated Estates Team ensures our buildings are safe, inspiring and fit for the future, supporting growth and improvement. Originally formed as a Minority Church Article Trust, we have since evolved into a Majority Article Trust, strengthening our partnership with the Diocese of Leicester and our Church School communities. At Discovery Trust, we believe in the power of collaboration, innovation, and care. We are proud of our journey so far, and excited about the future we are building together.
