Our trust values have been carefully and mindfully developed by the board of trustees, head teachers and department leads to ensure that they can be applied to every area of the work that we do.

We embrace individuality

We do the right thing

We work together

As an integral part of Extend Learning Academies Network, we are committed to taking full advantage of the opportunities working in a collaborative academy trust presents to extend the capacity, sustainability and ability of the group to deliver an excellent education, experiences and outcomes for all young people.
