We believe in the power of culture to drive performance. Get the culture right and the work tends to take care of itself. The pathway to a happy, productive working environment is not always easy - hard truths sometimes need to be faced - but we have some key principles that help create the right environment for our people to flourish. We don't have layers of management and endless committees.

A great Central Team provides the backbone to the Trust, allowing our schools to draw upon real expertise in Education, Finance, HR, Estates Management, Compliance, Marketing, Governance and General administration. The benefits are manifold: Sharing best practice, economies of scale, commercial acumen, statutory and regulatory compliance, people planning and robust accountability - all add so much to overall school performance.
