We are proud to be a member of the Amplify Education, a Bristol-based Multi Academy Trust. 

Amplify Education is the result of the merger between two highly respected organisations—Trust in Learning Academies (TiLA) and Cathedral Schools Trust (CST). This new Trust will bring together the complementary strengths, expertise, and shared values of both organisations, forming a collaborative force committed to excellence, inclusion, and innovation in education.

Together, Amplify Education will be the largest Bristol-based multi-academy trust, serving approximately 12,000 pupils across 21 schools and covering diverse communities and geographies.

Ambitious. Reflective. Collaborative. That's us.

Amplify will be committed to transforming education in Bristol through four guiding principles: 

• A Bold Voice for Bristol: Speaking with ambition and channelling the city’s spirit into a shared journey of belief, opportunity, and citizenship. 

• Building Belief: Ensuring every young person’s voice is heard, every story matters, and every learner moves forward with confidence. 

• Expanding Opportunities: Nurturing potential and enriching each learner’s journey with a passport of inclusive, academic, creative, and musical experiences. 

• Strengthening Citizenship: Connecting communities and educating to build unity and pride—this is Bristol, represented.
