Going Above and Beyond isn’t an empty marketing phrase; it’s our Trust-wide baseline, rooted in our vision of Excellence, Exploration and Encouragement, powered by Equity. It defines how we work every day and the standards we hold ourselves to.
It shapes how we support every child: raising aspirations, removing barriers, and creating environments where every pupil can flourish and reach their full potential. It guides how we champion every colleague, ensuring they are equipped, supported, and inspired to build rich, fulfilling careers. It underpins how we care for every school, making sure they are safe, welcoming, and inspiring places that meet the needs of all learners. And it drives how we work alongside every community we serve, with compassion, practical support, and a genuine commitment to making a difference.
I value the professional development and working with the central team which includes personnel that are highly talented and very capable which in turns inspires me to be better. I also value the support and guidance in times of challenge.
My career progression has been supported by the Trust, with autonomy for the school’s vision encouraged and respected. A huge support network through the central team has empowered me to lead with more success.
Being part of the trust offers staff clear pathways for career progression and the chance to develop strong leadership skills.
Specialised CPD that is provides a clear, shared vision for subjects across the LAAT – aligning teaching, assessment and professional learning so pupils experience coherent, high quality curriculum journeys wherever they are in the trust. You’re never on your own!
