Education Strategy

Our education strategy is how we will deliver our educational mission. Our Education Improvement Development Plan focusses on three strategic threads, which set out our education mission for the next three years. 

Number 1Thread 1

Be united in a shared Trust educational mission acting with focus and insight.

Establish a shared clarity of purpose and a deep understanding of the diverse needs of all learners schools/college, enabling targeted, effective, and equitable, improvement strategies.


Number 2Thread 2

Be a leading Trust known for a culture and ethos of continuous improvement.

Nurture and empower capacity-building at every level to sustain meaningful improvement and excellence—both as a learning community and through strong partnerships.


Number 3Thread 3

Lead with integrity by knowing our organisations deeply, using both evidence and experience to shape our futures.

Unify and assimilate robust quality assurance processes to deliver both quantitative and qualitative insights into organisational performance. Incorporate accountability for all as a learning Trust that listens to data and people equally, to foster trust and excellence.
