The Golden Thread Alliance Central Team

The Golden Thread Alliance is a Multi-Academy Trust with eight incredible primary schools under its wing, each with its own unique character and history. 

Our Trust was formed in January 2023 following the merger of The Galaxy Trust in Dartford and The Pathway Academy Trust in Gravesham.

Despite their unique characters, all our schools subscribe to The Golden Thread values of Respect, Equality, Courage, Integrity, Ambition, Kindness, and Responsibility. 

These shared values are at the heart of what our Golden Thread really is: an invisible, yet incredibly strong thread that connects our schools, colleagues, families and pupils, binding us in the belief that we are as united as we are different. 

To our potential colleagues, joining The Golden thread Alliance means becoming part of a dedicated and passionate team. We are committed to professional growth and development, offering continuous training and support to help you excel in your role. Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of our pupils and the broader community.

Every child, in every school, will confidently grasp the challenges of tomorrow.

Our vision is one of ambition, excellence and equality. 

The Golden Thread Alliance is committed to ensuring our schools’ outcomes are, at minimum, in line with statistically similar schools, while always aiming higher. 

As a Trust, we are committed to ensuring our collective outcomes are above the national average for each subject, at each key stage. 

We want all pupils, regardless of background or need, to achieve highly and have high levels of wellbeing.

Rather than downplaying our differences, we recognise and celebrate them together, so we can learn how to respect each other and provide personalised support when needed.  

This is what allows us to make sure every single one of our children can fulfil their potential for greatness and grow into a compassionate, responsible adult.
