Our Vision

Our vision is clear and uncompromising:
every child and young person will succeed and flourish through an exceptional education and experience.

We are guided by the metaphor of a tapestry, where strong warps and wefts are woven together to create something enduring and purposeful. Our work is shaped by six interconnected strands that reflect our responsibility to every child:

1. Get them in

2. Keep them safe

3. Give them a strong start

4. Know what they need

5. Deliver it well

6. Send them on ready

We are intolerant of anything that falls short of what children deserve and act decisively when things are not right.

Our Values and Behaviours

Everything we do is underpinned by five core values:

• Care – putting children, families and colleagues first

• Courage – doing the right thing even when it hurts

• Integrity – doing the right thing even when no-one is looking 

• Humility – listening, learning and growing together

• Aspiration – striving for excellence for every child and ourselves

Employees who live these values believe deeply in the right of every child to an excellent education. They demonstrate professionalism, resilience and a commitment to continuous improvement, using innovation and reflection to strengthen provision and outcomes for pupils.

What Is It Like to Work at Tapestry Learning Partnership?

Tapestry Learning Partnership is a people-centred organisation. We believe that valued, supported and listened-to colleagues are essential to delivering exceptional outcomes for children.

We place strong emphasis on employee voice, creating regular opportunities for colleagues across the Partnership to share feedback, contribute ideas and help shape the future direction of the Trust. Our Employee Voice Forum bring together staff from all roles and levels to work collaboratively with senior leaders and the People and Culture Team to identify strengths, address challenges and drive improvement.

We also place great importance on recognising and celebrating our people. Each year, we hold an Employee Appreciation Week in March, which is consistently positive and well-received across the Trust. This week provides an opportunity to thank colleagues for their commitment, celebrate successes and reinforce the culture of care, respect and collaboration that defines Tapestry Learning Partnership.

Professional Development and Collaboration

We are committed to developing our people at every stage of their career. Through Trust-wide professional learning and development, colleagues are supported, nurtured and encouraged to grow within a culture of high expectations and continuous improvement.

All staff attend our annual Trust conference, providing opportunities to share best practice, collaborate across schools and build strong professional networks. We also host community engagement events and Trust-wide celebrations, recognising children, young people and colleagues who exemplify innovation, resilience and excellence.
