Since 2020, Polaris has been a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant and we’re proud to show our support and recognise the importance of honouring those who serve. We asked Richard Keightley, our Headteacher at Apple Orchard School, who previously served in the Armed Forces about his own experiences and what the Armed Forces Covenant means to him.

Refurbishments are well underway at our newly named Olive Frances School in Banbury which is due to open to its first cohort of pupils in September!

We are delighted to share that Sophie Surtees , Learning Support Assistant at our Kirby Moor School, has been named a finalist in the Rotary Club of Hexham Young Employee of the Year Award 2026!
