Amplify Education: A Bold New Voice for Bristol
Amplify Education is the result of the merger between two highly respected organisations—Trust in Learning Academies (TiLA) and Cathedral Schools Trust (CST). This new Trust will bring together the complementary strengths, expertise, and shared values of both organisations, forming a collaborative force committed to excellence, inclusion, and innovation in education.
Together, Amplify Education will be the largest Bristol-based multi-academy trust, serving approximately 12,000 pupils across 21 schools and covering diverse communities and geographies.
“Amplify is an important new Trust serving the children and families of the wider Bristol area. Our aim is to take the best aspects of the two former Trusts, expanding opportunities and improving education for staff and children.”
“This is an exciting moment for both Trusts. By joining forces, we can amplify our impact, share best practice, and create even greater opportunities for the communities we serve.”
We recognise that the strength of our organisation comes from the people within it. We value every employee across our family of schools and proudly offer an attractive benefits package, excellent professional development opportunities and a proactive focus on staff wellbeing and career growth. You will experience a flexible and supportive work environment with opportunities to collaborate within and across our schools.

Unearthing history at Henbury Court! Last Friday, Year 5 pupils became archaeologists for the day as they took part in an exciting dig on the school site with Wessex Archaeology, funded by Historic England. From excavating and sieving to metal detecting, pupils uncovered fascinating finds including 17th-century pottery and possible Roman artefacts. As the school prepares to celebrate its 70th birthday next week, it feels fitting to be discovering stories from the past while creating new memories for the future. #HenburyCourt70 #HistoryInTheMaking #WessexArchaeology #SchoolLife #AmplifyEducation #CuriousMinds #BristolSchools

A fresh new look is taking shape across Amplify! We're excited to share the first of our new Amplify-branded school signs. Each sign has been individually designed to reflect the unique identity, character and brand of the school, while also showcasing its connection to the wider Amplify family. It's a great example of how we can celebrate what makes each of our schools special while strengthening our shared identity. We can't wait to see more of these signs appearing across our schools in the months ahead. Stronger together. Proud to belong. #AmplifyEducation #Belonging #BetterTogether #SchoolIdentity #ProudToBelong #EducationCommunity #SchoolBranding #StrongerTogether #TeamAmplify #CreatingConnections
