Vision and Values

Our ambition as a fully inclusive Trust of Church of England schools including an ecumenical Anglican/Methodist school and community schools, is for all our learners to flourish and to thrive in all aspects of their academic and personal development on their personal spiritual journey,  to experience “life in all its fullness”, through our Trust values of Respect, Teamwork and Kindness.

Our Trust vision is closely aligned to the Church of England Vision for Education, of ‘life in all its fullness’ at its heart, for the common good of the whole community. We wish as a Trust to;

Educate for wisdom, knowledge and skills: enabling our learners to build confidence and delight in seeking wisdom and knowledge and developing talents in all areas of life

Educate for hope and aspiration: to enable renewal, to support our learners to cope wisely when things go wrong, opening horizons and guiding learners to achieve their academic and personal goals

Educate for community and living well together: a core focus on positive respectful relationships in our schools, working in partnership in our communities and flourishing together

Educate for dignity and respect: for all our learners to respect the value and preciousness of each person, treating each person as a unique individual of inherent worth.

Our Trust vision is also aligned to the York Diocesan Board of Education (YDBE) vision of seeking to build flourishing communities in schools, parishes and homes. We are part of the wider family of DIocesan schools, churches and communities in the Diocese of York and enjoy working collaboratively together to further enhance the academic and personal development of young people.
