SOLA is an award winning Multi Academy Trust consisting of six primary schools in the London Borough of Bromley. Conceived in 2013 by a number of local Headteachers with the intention of closer bonds between their schools, aiming to work effectively together, building on shared local experiences as well as drawing upon the unique strengths of each establishment, the trust was eventually set up in 2016. Led by our CEO, James Turvey, SOLA aims to provide a fantastic learning environment for all of the children who come through our doors, giving them the best possible start to their academic life. Our Vision The South Orpington Learning Alliance will be known as a community where: - The schools each have unique strengths, but collectively demonstrate a culture and commitment to continuously improve together; - Through a wealth of inspiring and innovative opportunities to discover and grow, children develop a thirst for knowledge and a confidence to learn. They: - work hard and relish challenge; - develop the skills, knowledge and independence they will need for the future; - develop character and talents, believing they can be successful; - are happy and safe. - They are the schools of choice for parents and staff; - All schools are judged ‘Good’ or better.
