Learning and flourishing together

Scroll

PDET is a family of Church of England Schools across Northamptonshire, Peterborough and Rutland.  

We believe that we can achieve more by working together as one highly committed team, to ensure that every child within our Trust experiences an excellent education and realises their God-given potential to flourish.

We embrace the Church of England's Vision for Education, seeking to educate for wisdom and knowledge, hope and aspiration, community and living well together and dignity and respect. We believe in the infinite worth of each person; children deserve the very best education and hence, we support our colleagues to provide this.
