3. We will work with others beyond our network to create capacity in the sector to benefit more children and communities.

Values:

Our values reflect what we believe is most important in our schools – and what we want our pupils and team members to achieve.

Be big-hearted

We choose to treat each other with kindness, warmth and care. We believe that everybody matters equally.

Discover what’s possible

We create eureka moments for our pupils, helping them to discover new possibilities and opportunities.

Be unusually brave

We're not afraid to make the right call – and we challenge wrongs, even when it's difficult to do so.

Push the limits

We don’t settle for anything less than excellent – and we won’t allow our pupils to, either.
