Vision and Values

Our vision is one of promoting high aspirations and achieving excellent outcomes for all children. Our schools are inclusive and exist to serve the children who live in the locality. We believe that the school learning environment should deliver a vibrant, creative and relevant education for all children; fostering a love of learning is central to what we do.

Aspire, Learn, Achieve

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances. To this end, we encourage our community to have high aspirations (for self and others), focus on effective learning (academic and holistic), and value achievement in its many forms. Our schools serve a diverse population, and we are dedicated to meeting the high ambitions and needs of every learner. 

Stronger Together

We know that we are stronger together, and we aspire to develop expertise across all phases of education that can be shared within and beyond the De Curci Trust in order to secure school improvement for all.

In order to realise our vision for advancing education, our schools are committed to:

• Collaboration – We work together and with others to share and develop highly effective practice

• Excellence – We challenge ourselves to achieve the best outcomes for every child across the many facets of education

• Leadership – We support and develop leaders who are committed to delivering a high-quality education through an ethical and child-centred approach

• Learning – We are a learning organisation in which research, innovation and continuous professional development are highly valued

• Inclusion – We celebrate diversity and work to support all children to reach their full potential

We share strong values, practices and policies. However, we also recognise that schools are different and have unique identities. Our approach is to allow schools to determine their own routes to excellence within the context of their own community and to celebrate their distinctive characteristics.
