Venturers Trust is a multi-academy trust based in Bristol, formed through the merger of CGS Trust and Merchants' Academy Trust in September 2017. With a total of 3,500 pupils and 700 staff, our ambitious and diverse family of eight schools comprises Primary, Secondary, all-age schools, and a Special school. Our academies are located in two clusters, one in South Bristol and the other in East Central Bristol.

At Venturers Trust, we are committed to providing a truly inspiring education to all our young people. We aim to inspire students from all backgrounds and talents to develop a genuine love of learning within a creative environment. With a focus on hard work, integrity, responsibility, and respect, our academies are happy, dynamic, and exciting places to learn and work.

We are proud to be sponsored by the Society of Merchant Venturers and the University of Bristol, who provide hands-on support, expertise, and challenge. Together, we prioritize positive outcomes for every student and the wellbeing of our communities. At Venturers Trust, we believe in long-term academy improvement strategies and the power of collaboration.

By building strong and purposeful relationships with our communities, we facilitate continuous improvement in teaching and learning. Together, we are creating positive and collaborative environments in which children can thrive
