Values that drive our Trust to succeed
A trust with heart
We place our young people, staff and families at the heart of everything we do; we empower our young people to become compassionate, caring, humble and inspirational individuals.
Successful young people
We create a pride in our academies and a thirst for learning that raises aspirations and ensures our young people are ambitious - both within school life and through extensive enrichment offers - to prepare them for the global community.
Never leave a child behind
We support all our young people to ensure that - regardless of their background or starting point - they can achieve exceptional educational outcomes.
Learning for all
We deliver compelling, transformative and reflective learning in our classrooms, celebrating the differences of each academy's community, inspiring all our young people and staff to be the very best that they can be.
Thriving Community
We passionately believe that a positive, thriving community is the heartbeat of the academy. We embrace our collective strength to create a range of opportunities that enhance the lives of our young people and families whilst also acknowledging and celebrating the distinctiveness and individuality of each academy’s community.
Respect for all
We celebrate equality, diversity, inclusivity and individuality because we believe that we have far more in common than that which divides us.
Together we are stronger
We are united in our vision to ensure the best learning experiences for our young people, staff, and community through strong relationships and effective collaboration.
Coping with the challenges of life
We develop resilience within all our young people and staff to ensure a mindset for success and readiness to thrive in an ever-changing global community.
