Billericay Community Trust

The Billericay Community Trust is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee comprising thirteen schools in Billericay.

Through working with partners within and beyond the Trust, the BCT’s vision is to provide a collaborative approach to education that benefits all young people and the Billericay community, irrespective of ability, disability, background or upbringing.

We aim to achieve this through the following objectives; to foster / ensure:

• Provide a forum for collaboration to sustain and develop school improvement and enrichment.
• To ensure outcomes in all schools are at least good or outstanding.
• Narrow achievement gaps, especially for vulnerable groups which include those children supported via pupil premium, special educational needs and disabilities.
• Respect each school’s individual ethos, culture, values and identity
• Ensure the strengths of each school are identified, celebrated and shared across the partnership.
• Engage with the latest research based approaches to continually improve teaching and learning
• Work with partners to identify and develop potential leaders.
• Share and develop expertise in curriculum areas.
• Develop outstanding teachers through the highest quality Initial Teacher Training programmes and professional development opportunities.
• Build cohesion, confidence and skills through networking with colleagues

A key focus for the BCT Board is monitoring the effectiveness of the actions sitting behind these objectives, as well as ensuring the ongoing financial viability of the trust for the long-term.

All Saints Church

Stock Primary School is a voluntarily controlled Church of England school which enjoys close links to the village C of E church, All Saints. As the children start their school journey at Stock, they are welcomed into the church community through a special service at the Church which sees them each presented with a Bible. As the children leave in Year 6 a special leavers service is held in which they are presented with a cross.

The last day of the Autumn, Spring and Summer term is celebrated at the church where we come together as a Christian community. In addition to this, Reverend Jacqui Pearson leads collective worship at the school once a half-term and is part of the school Governing Body. 

The pupils also participate in the annual Flower Festival held at the Church performing country dancing and running stalls.

There is a very special relationship in Stock between our school and our church which benefits both.
