If there are more applicants to a school than it has places for, who gets in is determined by which applicants best fulfil the admissions criteria.

As part of our home learning system, students may be required to hand in their work via Assignments on Teams. The following video gives instructions on how to upload work or complete a quiz on Teams. We want our schools to be the best and for each child to discover the skills, abilities, talents and interests that lie within them.

Many schools admit children based on distance from the school or a fixed catchment area. For such schools, the cut-off distance will vary from year to year, especially if the school give priority to siblings, and the pattern will be of a central core with outliers (who will mostly be siblings). Schools that admit on the basis of academic or religious selection will have a much more scattered pattern. By working alongside each other, The Key Educational Trust academies are better placed to face these challenges and ensure all member schools exceed expectations, providing excellent teaching and learning opportunities for all of our young people. We are building a family of schools who are prepared to truly collaborate and the Trust welcomes the approach of any school, or group of schools, interested in joining the MAT, regardless of size, location or denomination if they share the desire to help all children to achieve their best.

The Trust is committed to delivering high quality educational provision across all academies whilst encouraging our partners to reflect the individual characters and needs of local communities. Welcome to The Key Educational Trust Based in Stone, Staffordshire, The Key Educational Trust serves 3 academies and is part of the wider Stone School Partnership. Our schools vary in size from 559 children in the largest to 81 in the smallest and cover a wide age range; Reception (age 3-4yrs) to Year 8 (age 12-13yrs). All are currently Church of England schools. We are a very happy Academy where children excel, achieve and enjoy; make their own positive contribution. An Academy where their health, safety and wellbeing is understood and promoted. We aim to create a community in which every child matters and thrives. We provide each child with the opportunity for growth - personal, emotional, spiritual and intellectual. We aim to ensure that every child fulfils their potential and has the opportunity to flourish. We look to challenge our learners in a supportive, caring environment so that they develop a thirst for learning, a desire to try new things and to achieve their best.A similar A-Z directory has also been developed for pupils who wish to search for advice and support for themselves, which also includes suggestions for emotional health & wellbeing apps. We value the importance of sport in our pupils’ lives. As well as gaining an understanding of the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle, pupils develop determination, motivation and team spirit and understand how to live-out our Christian Values. These attributes help maximise success throughout the rest of the curriculum, enabling all to flourish. user_uploads/files/Activities%20List%20-%20Autumn%20Term%202%20-%202023.pdf Throughout the year, we offer a wide variety of exciting clubs and activities including: Much is changing within the educational landscape and there is a real challenge to maintain the improvement, attainment and progress of our learners in spite of the climate of steadily diminishing finances.
