The Trust’s mission is to improve the life chances of our pupils so they become true citizens of the world.  We, therefore, believe that our academies and our pupils should develop our core values:

• Wisdom
• Curiosity
• Generosity
• Courage
• Passion

The Trust recognises and welcomes the fact that each academy is very different.  The academies work in different contexts, phases and settings.  They are different sizes, have different staffing profiles and are at different stages in their relationship with the Trust.

As our academies and departments become stronger, they do not seek earned autonomy from the Trust; rather, they gain and share earned responsibility to the Trust and make an even more significant contribution across our learning community.

Chair of the Trust
