We are proudly part of INOVA Multi‑Academy Trust

We are a member of INOVA Multi-Academy Trust, a cross‑phase Trust of nine schools — five primary and four secondary — working together to improve outcomes and broaden opportunities for all learners.

Formerly known as Tapton School Academy Trust (TSAT), the Trust relaunched as INOVA-Multi-Academy Trust in April 2025, marking an exciting new chapter focused on transforming lives through the power of learning. The Trust’s mission is built on collaboration, innovation and a strong commitment to high‑quality education across all phases.

Member schools work closely together to share expertise, strengthen leadership and create enriched experiences that benefit every young person within the INOVA community.

What Being Part of a Multi‑Academy Trust Means for Tapton School

  • Shared Expertise and Best Practice

We benefit from access to experienced leaders, specialists and educational networks across the Trust. Collaboration enables us to continually refine teaching, improve outcomes and strengthen the support we offer.

  • Enhanced Opportunities for Pupils

Through Trust‑wide projects, subject networks and enrichment programmes, pupils gain access to wider experiences that complement school life and broaden their horizons.

  • Professional Development for Staff

The trust offers high‑quality professional development, coaching and career pathways across its family of schools. This helps us attract, retain and grow talented staff who make a positive impact on pupils every day.

  • A Shared, Community‑Focused Vision

INOVA Multi-Academy Trust is committed to improving the lives of children and young people across its communities. This aligns closely with our work at Tapton and strengthens our drive to support every students personal and academic development.

Working Together for Excellence

As part of INOVA Multi‑Academy Trust, we remain committed to delivering the very best for our students, families and local community. By working together, we ensure every young person is equipped with the knowledge, skills and character they need to succeed — both now and in the future.
