The EQUA Mead Learning Trust
The EQUA Mead Learning Trust is a 2-18 welcoming, inclusive and forward-looking educational organisation. We consist of 20 primary schools, 2 secondary schools and 5 High Need Resource Bases.
We take pride in the mixed economy of our schools and strive to foster a genuine inclusive environment in all our schools. We believe in the power of education to transform lives, and we are dedicated to developing and supporting staff. We foster a strong sense of community, where all partners collaborate and are empowered to achieve academic excellence and personal growth.
We offer you the chance to complete all your training in our trust schools, delivered by our own experts. Our schools enjoy geographical proximity and mutually beneficial relationships; this will ensure that your support is continuous, and developmental as your placements progress. Due to the nature of our schools, we can offer you a rich and diverse experience where we choose your second placement to directly complement your core school, therefore enhancing and broadening your teaching repertoire.
EQUA Mead Learning Trust and our schools are characterised by an ambition to give ‘every child, every chance’. This belief is tangible via our commitment to an enhanced CPD and development offer positioned within EQUA Mead Futures. This offer ranges from our ITT programme in partnership with Teach First to intrust delivery of the Early Careers Framework (ECF) up to Nationally recognised leadership qualifications (NPQ). Whilst our schools are based in Wiltshire we have coverage across Bath, Dorset, Somerset, Swindon and Devon.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
