Objectives

In the Trust we will work together with others to ensure that outstanding education remains at the core of everything we do. We stand for traditional values, top quality teaching, high standards of pupil behaviour, and state-of-the-art learning environments.

Underpinning the Trust’s expansion plans are the principles of raising standards, and achieving high quality pupil outcomes within a framework which will achieve rapid improvement. All staff are held accountable for the implementation of these principles.

Key Objectives

Performance Objectives

· To ensure an organisational culture with shared values of consistent service delivery of high standards and accountability.

· To concentrate workforce development planning within a culture of training, professional development, networking and school-to-school support.

· High standards of quality assurance, putting teaching, learning and pupil outcomes at the top of the agenda.
