Embrace ‘life in all it’s fullness’ – The Vision
Every child in our Trust is known, belongs, and matters. We provide a safe, caring environment and deliver equity and excellence in teaching – great lessons, every day, in every school, for every child. Our curriculum sparks curiosity and a love of learning for life, offering opportunities to flourish academically, culturally, and spiritually. Through an engaging and enriching curriculum, including leadership and social action opportunities, we remove barriers, so every child experiences joy, ambition, and a clear pathway to their future.
We create an Embrace community where every individual feels they matter and belong. Working together, we make a real difference for children. We prioritise wellbeing, celebrate achievements, and invest in professional growth so careers flourish – and joy and purpose thrive in our work. As one trust and one team, with service, compassion, and open communication, we enable our colleagues to focus on what matters most – delivering a flourishing education for the children we serve.
Every family is welcomed, valued and respected, with equity at the heart of our offer and support for all to create a culture of safety, dignity, and hope. We celebrate uniqueness and diversity, communicate openly and compassionately, and remove glass ceilings so ambition is possible for every child and family. Together we build relationships of trust, working in partnership to foster aspiration and flourishing futures for our children.
We place schools at the heart of their local communities, fostering cohesion, and belonging while celebrating all that is unique. Through service, social action, and enrichment, we give back to our communities and build partnerships working together to support each other. We create connections across schools to provide holistic education and smooth transitions for children. Our close relationship with local places of worship deepens our shared commitment to flourishing communities.
