What does the Stringer Trust Value Most?

As our name suggests we are a Coventry Trust for Coventry children. Sidney Stringer School was named after the leader Alderman Sidney Stringer, the Mayor and the leader of the Labour majority in Coventry City Council from 1938-67 who dedicated himself to rebuilding the city after the devastation of the Second World War.
The Sidney Stringer Trust was named after him due to the founder school being name after Sidney Stringer in 1972 when it opened; everything Coventry stood for, and valued, when Sidney Stringer
led the city is still reflected in all the Sidney Stringer Trust schools.

sense of community. We are proud of our schools, and there is a strong
sense of unity and support among all our staff and students. We are committed

To summarise The Sidney Stringer Trust embodies the values of resilience,
