star academies
Blackburn
Not-for-profit multi-academy trustThe star is adopted by all of our
organisations as a universal – and instantly recognisable – emblem of
excellence. Many schools award gold stars to pupils for good work, consistent
attendance and model behaviour – just as many charities rely on the star as a
representation of hope – but for us, a star isn’t just a sticker in our pupils’
books or a symbol of optimism for people to wish upon in their times of need,
it’s integral to our aspirations and central to our brand. We want to create
outstanding organisations that promote educational excellence, character
development and service to communities – organisations that encourage our
pupils, their families and the local community to look upward to a better future
and a brighter tomorrow. We want our staff to believe that the sky is the limit
in terms of their career goals, and that we will invest in them to ensure that
they have the skills required to become stars in their own right. Humanity has
long looked to stars for guidance, direction and as a sign of hope, much like
pupils look to their teachers for inspiration, staff look to their managers for
leadership, and those less fortunate look to society for salvation – but we
don’t just want to be one star amidst thousands, we want to be the star that
stands out from the crowd and leads the way for others to follow.
