Our Approach
Our Pathway to Achieving our Vision:
The Trust educates for:
- Wisdom and Knowledge
- Hope and Aspiration
- Community and Living Well Together
- Dignity and Respect
and
Promotes a positive, open and honest culture which embraces and nurtures these.
The Trust ensures its schools are inclusive, serving the local community, welcoming all.
Educating for Wisdom and Knowledge:
Wisdom, knowledge, truth and accompanying good judgement are needed for all to flourish. Our academies encourage academic and spiritual development. They nurture academic discipline, emotional intelligence and creativity across the whole range of school subjects. Our academies nurture the understanding of how to be a good person and citizen and provide opportunities to practise this.
Educating for Hope and Aspiration:
Learning how to approach the future is crucial. Our academies support the character and moral development of all pupils giving them hope and aspirations. They develop pupils’ resilience to cope well when things are difficult and the perseverance to overcome barriers to their own learning and to make positive choices. Our academies inspire all to be courageous advocates for change in their local, national and global communities.
Educating for Community and Living Well Together:
Humanity is ‘co-humanity’, inextricably linked with others. Our academies promote social and cultural development and wellbeing. They provide an education and culture with a core focus on relationships and the practice of forgiveness and reconciliation, enabling all people to flourish and live well together.
Educating for Dignity and Respect:
Upholding dignity and showing respect to all are fundamental. Our academies encourage all to understand, celebrate and embrace difference and diversity so all can flourish because all are treated with dignity and respect.
Our Outcomes:
The following outcomes illustrate the realisation of our vision:
- Excellent progress for all pupils
- Individual high academic achievement
- Whole person development (cognitive, spiritual, emotional, physical, moral and social)
