Mission and values

Our mission is simple: to transform the lives of children and young people from our community through excellent education in a safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment.

Everything we do is guided by our values:
Ambition · Inclusivity · Collaboration · Excellence

We are proud to serve a richly diverse community where every individual is valued and encouraged to make positive contributions to each school. All our schools share a common goal which is to provide excellent academic education and inclusive, personal support to all of our pupils. We value pupils’ diversity and actively teach and encourage all students to make positive contributions so that they become responsible, independent and successful members of society. Each school has its own identity and ethos, but all share these common values and purpose. We make sure that pupils leave with the best possible skills and qualifications they need to support them to shape their future.

We know this is only possible because of our great staff.  Through high-quality teaching and a strong culture of support, we invest as much energy in developing and caring for our employees as we do in our pupils.

 Why Work With Us?

  • Professional growth at every stage: From induction to leadership programmes, and apprenticeships, we invest in your career. Federation-wide INSET days bring colleagues together to share best practice and collaborate.
  • A strong, supportive community: With our schools working closely together, staff benefit from shared resources, expertise, and opportunities across phases.
  • Inclusive, ambitious culture: We celebrate diversity and encourage everyone to bring their whole selves to work.
  • Wellbeing matters: Our staff wellbeing offer includes health cover, counselling, and flexible family-friendly policies — because we know great teaching depends on a healthy, happy team.

We believe in fostering a work environment that supports work-life balance. We are open to flexible working arrangements, flexible hours, and part-time opportunities.
