Our Values

We are a values-driven organisation with five core values that shape our culture and guide every aspect of our work. They influence our interactions, our decisions and our strategic direction - and they unite each of our school communities together.

Values Emblem

 

Circle 1 Red  I Aspire, we achieve

We want our high aspirations to be felt by everyone, and we want people to deliver them as part of our team. 

 

Circle 2 Blue  We’re curious, creative and bold

We encourage innovation and different ways of thinking across the board. We don’t want people to be the same as everyone else. It’s important that our teams feel safe to fail and to try new things. 

 

Circle 3 Purple  A family, not a house share

We are all about collaboration. We want people to feel like they’re part of something bigger and that they’re safe in our ‘family’. However, family for us incorporates all elements of parenting – there are rules to follow, and we will always challenge, as well as encourage, the people we care for. 

 

Circle 4 Green  Comfortable being candid

This speaks to psychological safety and making sure that everyone in the Trust is allowed to speak their truth and to share their opinion, as long as it’s within a respectful framework. 

 

Circle 5 Yellow  Humour, humility, humanity

We recognise the whole human, and we understand that people have lives and priorities outside of work. We expect people to bring their entire personality to work with us, including the laughter and the fun. This value helps us to overcome even the toughest of challenge, with lightness.
