Welcome to The White Horse Federation
We are incredibly proud of our schools and colleagues that form our Trust. It is an honour to have such a diversity of settings serving children aged 2 to 19.
Every day, across our Trust, colleagues are inspiring the lives of children and families who live in the communities that we serve. We are humbled to be at the heart of our communities in Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire, as trusted partners, offering an education and experiences that support all children and their families.
We are a family of over 30 schools and settings, connected and working together to inspire the lives of children with opportunity and choice. Collectively seeking to support and enable children to thrive in their lives, now and into adulthood. We also seek to inspire the lives of all colleagues across the Trust, with opportunity and connection, so that they are empowered to inspire each other, as well as our children.
The White Horse Federation is a human organisation, based on building strong relationships, as a foundation for colleagues to reach high standards and uphold high expectations of what children can achieve. A Trust that seeks to develop character and high academic standards to enable children to have more opportunities, more choice and greater agency in their lives.
As a team of colleagues, a Trust and a group of schools we are deeply committed to the children who have the least and who need us the most. We seek to offer high-quality education and to apply the equity required, so that we meet the needs of every child, increasing their life chances.

Vision & Values
Our Mission
At the White Horse Federation, our mission is to improve life chances and raise the aspirations of young people.
To achieve these goals, the Trust believes in the power of a first-rate education to help young people to succeed and overcome social barriers, irrespective of their backgrounds or starting points.
Our Vision
Our vision is for The White Horse Federation to be family of excellent schools which, both individually and collectively have the best academic results in the region and are consistently chosen by parents.
Enabling this, is a robust operational model: sustainable financial performance; effective governance and leadership; sound estate and IT infrastructure; effective risk management; and strong community engagement.
Our Values
At The White Horse Federation, every educator has the best interests of young people at heart. We want to ensure that no child is left behind. Equally important to us is the preservation – and celebration – of the unique identity of each school within our trust. We celebrate and value the contribution each of our schools makes to ensuring young people in South West England receive the best possible education, and enriching experiences.
