What is the Good Shepherd Trust?
The Good Shepherd Trust (GST) is a family of 24 church and community schools located across Surrey and Hampshire.
In partnership with schools, the Trust strives to provide transformational education by setting high standards, encouraging and recognising positive achievement in everyone, raising aspiration, increasing opportunities and improving standards.
Mission and Purpose
Jesus said:
"I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness." John 10:10-11
The Good Shepherd Trust is rooted within the Diocese of Guildford and their mission is to ensure the best possible educational outcomes for every pupil.
They believe that every pupil has the right to a broad and rich education to be achieved within a distinctly Christian context, valuing each child as an individual and enabling them to flourish by discovering and developing their God given gifts.
Their purpose is to build a strong and high performing family of sustainable schools supported by first class shared services. Working together, we will enable our people to achieve excellent outcomes for pupils, and harness resources to secure the long term future of our schools.

The Good Shepherd Prayer
Father,
You gave your Son

And in love to lay down his life and rise again:
Keep us always under his protection,
And give us grace to follow in his steps;
Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
