Welcome to Tall Oaks Academy Trust
From Chris Fitzpatrick, CEO
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Tall Oaks Academy Trust. At the heart of everything we do is a simple but powerful vision: Transforming Lives. This vision reflects our unwavering commitment to making a lasting difference for every child, every day. We are proud to serve the children, families and wider community of Gainsborough, working together to build a brighter future through education.
Our core values—aspiration, engagement, resilience, and well-being—are the foundation of our approach. We want every child to believe in their potential, to feel inspired to aim high and achieve their dreams. We promote active engagement in learning, both inside and outside the classroom, creating opportunities that spark curiosity and develop confidence. We foster resilience by helping children navigate challenges with determination and positivity. And above all, we prioritise well-being, knowing that a safe, nurturing environment is essential for growth and success. Through these values, we want every child to know they matter, and to feel a true sense of belonging—part of something special where they are supported, valued, and encouraged to flourish.
At the core of our Trust’s success is our team of dedicated and passionate staff. Across all our schools, our colleagues bring not only their expertise and commitment, but also genuine care for every child’s progress and well-being. They go above and beyond each day to ensure children feel valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. It is their professionalism, creativity, and deep sense of purpose that help bring our vision to life and make our schools places where children thrive.
Thank you for visiting—we look forward to sharing our journey with you.
