The vision of our Trust and the values we promote are outlined here.
Through Christ, in partnership and with service and witness at the core of all we do, our schools will be centres of excellence. We will educate the whole person so that everyone fulfills their academic potential, aspires highly and is optimistically ambitious. We will unlock ability and talents so that all can flourish and make a valued contribution to the world.
We believe that a knowledge of and a personal relationship with Christ brings meaning and direction to life.
Key Virtues: Spirituality and Witness
We believe that every member of our diverse community is created in God’s image and therefore we act with respect and show dignity, ensuring that all are treated with fairness, justice and equity. We work fervently to dispel inequality and pay special attention to those most in need.
Key Virtues: Respect and Honesty
We believe that all members of our Trust should be supported to recognize their own purpose and to develop a sense of how they are called to contribute to society.
Key Virtues: Self-Belief and Service
We believe that each person should be equipped to excel through the highest quality learning opportunities and richest wider-school experiences.
Key Virtues: Confidence and Aspiration
We believe that every member of our Trust community should have the highest expectations of themselves and others and should be equipped with the knowledge and skills to achieve greatly.
Key Virtues: Resilience and Optimism
We believe that our schools promote truth, honesty, reconciliation, resilience and integrity in their own context, but together create strength, optimism and excellence across the Trust.
Key Virtues: Gratitude and Joy
We believe that the best leadership in Catholic schools raises the work of the staff and the attainment of young people to levels that exceed expectations through relentless focus, effective management skills, profound empathy, sustained energy and robust optimism, underpinned by wide professional knowledge founded on innovative research.
Key Virtues: Optimism and Generosity
Heavenly Father,
We pray for your guidance, wisdom, and support.
Help us to engage in meaningful work; allowing us
to grow closer as members of our Trust family, and
to nurture the bonds of our community.
Fill us with your grace, Lord God, as we consider
the pupils, staff, governors, families and parishes
of our schools.
Continue to remind us that all we do here today,
all we strive for, and all that we accomplish, is to
enable all to flourish.
We ask this in Your name, Lord.
Amen.
