Trust Values & Vision

Our Vision: Life in all its fullness – a place to thrive (John 10:10)

Kindness

Kindness

Kindness, always backed up by action

We believe in the power of kindness, generosity and consideration. Treating others as we would wish to be treated ourselves. It is the right thing to do, and it helps to create places where people thrive. However, our commitment to kindness doesn’t mean that we shy away from constructive challenge, or from making tough decisions for the right reasons.

Respect

Respect

Respect for each other and ourselves

We encourage everyone in our community to respect and value each other, and to treat each person as a unique individual of inherent worth. Some of our schools are faith based, others are not, and we serve a wide range of urban, rural and coastal communities. This rich tapestry makes us who we are, and we believe that diversity makes us stronger.

Teamwork

Teamwork

Teamwork, together we are more than the sum of our parts

We believe in the strength of teamwork - that we learn and achieve more by working collaboratively. We are committed to building a strong, resilient and sustainable multi academy trust by developing a talented team of like-minded people, with the common goal of delivering great learning experiences. With a forensic focus on improvement, we work together to achieve our objectives.
