Our Trust’s vision is to provide high quality, fully inclusive learning opportunities to children across the early years and primary age ranges through;

• realising potential by working together to develop everyone's education and enabling all to flourish
• sharing our Christian values, being warm and welcoming to all, knowing our children and their families well
• a strong emphasis on meeting the pastoral needs of pupils
• promoting and delivering strong mental health and wellbeing support to all children and the MAT workforce including promoting opportunities for families, building in the unique natural beauty of Shropshire to promote positive wellbeing and opportunities to explore learning outside the classroom
• ensuring our ethos is underpinned by a strong knowledge and understanding of the impact of trauma and ensure our approach to supporting behaviour is trauma informed
• providing an ambitious and engaging curriculum within each academy
• ensuring the delivery of high-quality education to all young people across the academies through a comprehensive school improvement offer to all academies within the Trust
• empowering each CE academy within the trust to embody its distinctive Christian vision
• creating an environment in all academies where pupils and adults can truly flourish
• growing and developing the expertise and capacity of the Trust to meet the needs of children and young people with SEND who may require more specialist provision
• overseeing efficient, effective, and compliant management of the trust’s finances
• Skilled, effective and robust governance at all levels

The Trust ethos is derived from, and informed by, the Church of England’s commitment to education and schooling over more than 200 years; the Trust closely adheres to the Church of England’s policy of ‘church schools for all’ rather than ‘faith schools for some’.

As with the other church MATs across both dioceses, our Trust is open to church and non-church schools with a core purpose of providing an inclusive education for children of any ability, culture, gender, sexuality, faith or no faith.
