Strategy

The 3-18 Education Trust Strategy 2030

Our strategy is for us to be a leading Multi-Academy Trust built in the best interests of all our schools, children and families, whilst benefitting the broader education community. We aim to be at the forefront of education thinking and to ensure that ‘every individual is in a great school. 

What will this look like?

• We are passionate about creating an exciting aspirational education journey across our schools from Early years to post 16 and beyond.
• We aim to have a strong inclusive curriculum offer across our Trust with rich and varied opportunities for all.
• We aspire to create a network of schools that share the same values and ethos, where every child can thrive and achieve their full potential within a great school.
• We are proud of our achievements and ambitious for our future, as we strive to make a positive difference in the lives of our students and staff.
• We believe that education is not only about academic excellence, but also about developing the whole person, nurturing their talents, interests, and wellbeing so that they may flourish.
• We provide a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment where young people are encouraged to be curious, creative, and confident.
• We value collaboration, diversity, and inclusion, and we foster strong partnerships with parents, carers, and the wider community.
• We actively promote working together to find ways to exchange ideas, share resources and collaborate so that everyone benefits.
• We want our schools to keep checking if they are working as efficiently as possible and to learn about tools and technology that can help everyone be ready for working now and in the future.
• We want all staff and children to be digitally aware and skilled in the use of systems so that they have access to global resources.
