Our Trust
Sutton-at-Hone Church of England School joined as a member of Aletheia Academies Trust in 2017.
Aletheia Trust’s Vision
Aletheia schools are motivated by our vision and values to serve our communities by improving the life chances of local children. Aletheia schools welcome those of all faiths and none and are proud of the inclusive nature and diversity of each cohort of children. Our schools seek to embody the experience of community and collaboration, where talents are shared, where the emphasis is on what can be contributed and where each is given according to need.
At the heart of the Aletheia vision is the belief in educational and individual excellence and the belief that Aletheia is called to serve our local communities, now and for the future. We will do this by providing safe places where children, young people and adults develop and thrive intellectually, socially, physically, culturally, spiritually and emotionally.
Aletheia Trust’s Objectives
Aletheia is committed to sustaining high-quality schools, and supporting schools in need of specific improvement in some of the more challenging wards in Kent. Our focus is to provide school improvement services that draw on the wealth of practice from across our trust, broaden the expertise available to schools through flexible working arrangements and increase our capacity to quickly respond to the needs of individual schools. Pedagogical excellence is at the heart of all we do with a sustained focus on collaborative and mastery learning.
Belonging to a local Trust offers greater opportunities for influence than single schools can achieve: working together the Trust aims to be greater than the sum of its constituent schools. We see the growth of Aletheia as an opportunity for schools, leaders and governors to step forward as co-shapers of a school-led and self-improving system in our area. The trust offers our distinctive ethos, the strength of leadership and commitment to working collaboratively to ensure all our schools are outstanding.

Why Sutton-at-Hone Joined Aletheia Academies Trust
The sense of family and community is extremely important to us at Sutton-at-Hone so when the opportunity came for us to join the Aletheia Academies Trust, we simply saw it as the expansion of our wonderful and unique family. Collaboration is a key component of the work that goes on at Sutton-at-Hone School, both amongst the children and the staff. Having the opportunities to work with colleagues in other schools, challenge our thinking, and share our good practice has been valuable for everyone; teachers and children have had opportunities that they wouldn’t have had access to outside of the Trust enabling us to live out our school vision of ‘being the best we can be’.
