Our Schools

Embark Federation is made up of schools that have chosen to be part of our family and believe that we are ‘stronger together’ and are committed as a team to support each other.

We have a strong group of school with excellent capacity to support others. We have two National Leaders of Education, two National Support Schools and a National Leader of Governance.

Our shared vision - to create ‘stand out’ schools at the heart of their communities.
