Equality Trailblazer Award

Inspire Education Trust is proud to announce that it has been nominated for the Equality Trailblazer Award at the Coventry and Warwickshire Business and Community Awards 2026.

The nomination recognises the Trust’s ongoing commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion across its family of schools and wider community work. Inspire Education Trust places inclusion at the heart of everything it does, ensuring that every child, staff member and stakeholder feels valued, respected and empowered to thrive.

Across Coventry and Warwickshire, the Trust works with diverse communities to create inclusive learning environments where difference is celebrated and opportunity is equitable. Its approach to EDI is embedded within leadership, curriculum design, staff development and community engagement, ensuring meaningful and lasting impact rather than surface level change.

The Equality Trailblazer Award celebrates organisations that are leading the way in driving positive change, challenging inequality and creating inclusive cultures. Inspire Education Trust’s nomination highlights its role as a values led organisation committed to building stronger, more inclusive communities through education.
