Welcome to your new School!
We are excited to welcome you all as you begin your Columbus journey. Through our highly nurturing and personalised approaches, we are looking forward to settling your child into school as comfortably and successfully as possible. We hope that the below resources will help new families and children. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need anything at all.
Academies Enterprise Trust (AET)
Our academy is part of Academies Enterprise Trust (AET).
Academies Enterprise Trust (AET) is a national family of schools dedicated to education that inspires all the young people in our care to choose to lead a remarkable life. It is our deeply held belief that every child has something remarkable to offer and we see it as our duty to help each and every child find this within themselves.
Inspiring each child to choose a remarkable life is the golden thread that binds us all together - the reason that despite our very different paths to AET, we are all part of one family.
Everything we do, every decision we make and the way in which we behave is focused on achieving that end goal and underpinned by our values.
Remarkable lives - Find your remarkable at Columbus School and College.
