Cherry Tree Academy

Welcome to Cherry Tree Academy, where our vision is for every child to thrive to be the best they can be. As Head of School and Executive Head, we are proud to lead a caring and inclusive primary school in Colchester, where children are known as individuals and supported to flourish both academically and personally. As part of Inspires Multi-Academy Trust, we are committed to delivering high-quality education rooted in strong values and meaningful relationships.

At Cherry Tree Academy, we believe that education is about far more than academic achievement alone. It is about nurturing confidence, resilience, communication and emotional wellbeing, ensuring that every child feels safe, valued and supported. Our inclusive ethos is underpinned by our commitment to the Thrive Approach, which supports children’s emotional development and helps them to build positive relationships and a strong sense of self.
