Invictus Education Trust was created in March 2015 by a group of like-minded schools: Crestwood, Ellowes Hall Sports College, Kinver High and Wombourne High School. Two schools have since joined us, Leasowes High School in Autumn 2016 and Pedmore High School in September 2018, further strengthening an already thriving trust.Where we differ from other multi-academy trusts is our intention to collaborate across our schools, in every aspect.Our collaboration starts with our culture, our culture is collectively known as the ‘Student First Culture', all elements are centred around providing the best for our students, we recruit staff that are driven to put students first.Invictus Vision StatementWe provide our communities with an excellent education, unique opportunities, and elite experiences.
