Throughout The Corinium Education Trust, our practice is informed by the 7 principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, leadership.
Our vision is of an ambitious and diverse family of schools within the South Cotswolds that responds strategically to the needs of parents, children and other stakeholders in our community and contributes fully to the provision of excellent inclusive education across the different phases and school contexts. We value diversity.
While we expect all schools within The Corinium Education Trust to embrace our overarching vision, each of our schools has its own unique ethos and distinctive characteristics.
Our local multi-academy trust is based on partnership. By working together locally we are creating a strong community of educators and raising aspirations.
Our multi-academy trust is built on our shared values and led with the necessary rigour to promote and secure consistently high educational standards. We combine our efforts and expertise to:
Raise standards;
Achieve seamless transitions;
Improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment;
Support our local families and children;
Enhance young people’s learning and life chances.
We are aware of the challenges schools face and the different experiences of families in the South Cotswolds. Focusing on a defined geographical area helps us make a more coherent provision for families who have children in different phases, many of whom we share.
