Education South West
About Education South West
At Education South West we believe that education makes children’s lives better, it is as simple as that. It enables them to lead great lives in every sense of the word; we believe that every child has the right to achieve all that they are capable of and more, regardless of their background or raw ability.
We believe strongly that every child is talented and it is the role of those in education to challenge, support and nurture these talents. We aim to challenge children to develop into confident active, global citizens.
Across all of our schools our staff aim to provide an educational experience which is outstanding. Outdoor activity plays a big part in our broad and balanced curriculum. As well as traditional academic subjects we also champion practical subjects and technical education. Sport, art, technology drama and music play an important role in all our of schools. As well as 4 secondary, 1 all-through and 8 primary schools, our Trust also has a University Technical College specialising in engineering and health sciences.
We encourage innovation, creativity and individuality.
By sharing this individuality and creativity we firmly believe that schools and communities become stronger through such unity and collaboration.
All schools should strive to be the best they can be for the children they serve and we believe in supporting all children, whether they attend one of the family of ESW schools or not. We work supporting other schools through CPD, coaching, mentoring and our curriculum offer.
We are caring and compassionate. Every individual in our schools matters.
We believe that children and staff should enjoy their time at school and work and have a positive can-do attitude to their work and study. The happier and more stimulated a person is the more motivated they are to improve.
Greater achievement arises out of a happy, respectful and engaging learning environment. One where children are taught respect and manners whilst being allowed to develop as individuals.
We believe that confidence is key to success. That by developing a positive attitude to learning and life; having clear goals to aim for in a challenging but supportive environment, we will grow confident citizens who will make a positive contribution to society.
We support and challenge our school leaders and the staff in our schools to be the very best they can, leading effective teams at every level, growing future leaders and working together to provide an exciting education for all
If you share our vision or beliefs or want to collaborate in any way for the benefit of all our young people then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
