A Fresh New Look for Vine Schools Trust

A strategic rebrand to signal transformation, rebuild trust and unite 21 schools under a shared vision for growth, faith and excellence.
Vine Schools Trust had undergone a remarkable transformation. Under new leadership, the Trust had moved from a challenging historic reputation to becoming a multi‑award‑winning organisation, with every school rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted.

However, this progress was not reflected in its existing brand. To truly signal change, the Trust required a rebrand that could represent its renewed ambition, values and direction.

Working in close partnership with colleagues and stakeholders across the Trust, we developed and rolled out a refreshed brand identity and supporting collateral designed to communicate confidence, clarity and cohesion at every touchpoint.

A new brand for a new era

At the heart of the rebrand was Trust CEO Emma Wigmore’s vision: to drive transformation, foster excellence and rebuild the Trust’s reputation from the ground up. From a creative perspective, this required more than a visual refresh — it demanded a brand that could clearly signal change, build trust with communities and unite schools under a shared narrative of growth and achievement.

We developed a distinctive brand identity rooted in the Trust’s Church of England foundations, drawing inspiration from “I am the vine, you are the branches” (John 15:5). This concept became the creative anchor for the work, symbolising connection, resilience and flourishing potential. Through collaborative workshops and consultation, we ensured the identity reflected both the Trust’s values and its forward‑thinking ambition, balancing heritage with momentum and optimism.

Website design

With a new identity established, the next step was to bring the brand to life digitally. We designed and built a new website that moved beyond a purely functional platform, using the refreshed visual language and messaging to clearly articulate what makes Vine Schools Trust different. The result is a more engaging, confident and cohesive digital experience for parents, schools and stakeholders — one that places the brand at the centre of every interaction and supports the Trust’s growing profile

By placing the new brand identity at the heart of the web design process, we delivered a refreshed digital experience for schools, parents and stakeholders interacting with the Vine Schools Trust online.
