Our vision

Delivering excellence through collaboration to realise the right of every child to flourish.

Our culture

We will work together as one organisation with humility, openness and authenticity to secure high levels of personal and professional trust across our family of schools.

We will ensure that children in the schools and communities that we are serve are the central focus for all our work.

We will maintain high levels of practitioner-led alignment between our schools through intelligent design making and as a result of a clear rationale.

Our headteachers and their teams will be empowered to work with the sense of solidarity and interconnectedness that motivates individuals to be creative and innovative together.

We will create a safe environment for staff by developing outstanding relationships with colleagues at all levels enabling them to share their successes, challenges and concerns.

We will work with unfettered honesty while showing respect and care for each other, recognising that continuous learning helps us all grow as individuals and strengthens our schools and wider organisation.

We will maintain dynamic and careful balance between top-down quality assurance, bottom-up innovation and lateral networking so share best practice.

We will mobilise the inherent capacity of our family of schools to deliver a trust dividend that:

• Reduces workload through collaboration.
• Identifies strong practice and collective intelligence to improve outcomes.
• Offers the highest quality continuous professional development and careers pathways to all.
• Ensures every member of staff connects to a network of professional support.

Trust pledge

• The trust between us is built around the children and radiates outwards to staff and our communities.
• We will treat each other with respect and aim to create an environment where children and adults feel physically and emotionally safe.
• We will embrace challenge and be open to opportunity.
• We will provide clarity of leadership.
