CEO WELCOME
All our schools – regardless of their starting position with us – are now outstanding or good, with performance far outstripping national benchmarks.
Our schools are anchors in the communities they support and serve, committed to making a positive and lasting impact. We take a lead in making them accessible hubs for parents, families, partners and neighbouring schools.
Through collaborations we lead and support projects to improve community outcomes in areas such as families’ health and wellbeing, positively impacting children and family mental health. We equip our staff to be effective in these areas and encourage schools in our localities and the wider community to access our resources and expertise.
We are passionate about ongoing community engagement; not only involving wider geographies in our work within each school, but also finding opportunities where as an organisation we can add value to community life.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to create fun working and learning environments to encourage happy and confident learners. We take great pride in our creative curriculum and brilliant schemes of learning, with teachers and leaders delivering inclusive, first class education experiences, in creative and inspiring places and spaces.
We have a relentless energy and drive towards achievement allowing us to consistently deliver the highest educational outcomes for all our children.
Three principles – Fun, Creativity and Achievement – are central to everything we do, and our clear focus (on Fun, Creativity and Achievement) binds our schools together and ensures every child can develop.
We hold high expectations for all our schools to make sure each and every child has the opportunity to develop through our tailor-made curriculum; building aspiration, moral guidance, fun and creativity alongside academic achievement.
Our highly skilled, energetic and creative teaching staff make sure we constantly drive forward standards and deliver continuous school improvement across all of our schools – regardless of where they are on their individual journey. We share a collective passion across our Trust to make all our schools excellent, and we work together to share ideas, spread best practice and challenge each other.
The very best teachers who want to work hard and thrive are attracted to work with us to engage and inspire children whilst also developing their own expertise, knowledge and professional career. Together we are relentless in our pursuit of delivering excellent experiences, school improvement and fun, creativity and achievement in all our schools.
