Vision, Values and Strategy

Our vision is ‘Exceptional Education for All’

Our schools are encouraged to develop as their own institutions guided by our core values:

• Inclusion - we recognise people need different levels of support to achieve equitable outcomes.
• Comprehensive education – we welcome all people from our local community.
• Excellence – high standards institutionally, academically and in personal development.
• Expertise – great schools thrive because of the great people in them.  We invest in all our staff to achieve their potential.
• Collaboration – we believe we are stronger together.
• Reflection – we are underpinned by thoughtful use of relevant evidence and research.

Our Core Beliefs

All our schools need a strong sense of belonging to the Trust, and the communities they serve, because we, collectively, are the Trust.

Everyone in our Trust must be aligned with our values and agreed processes.  However, we recognise that schools know best in adapting to their context.

The Trust’s central teams exist to support schools to be the best they can be and to let school leaders focus most on what makes a difference in the classroom.
