Equal Partnerships

The school academies are equal partners within The Trust. At all times the partners will strive for consensus in decision making, recognising that each Academy has both strengths and areas for development. The Academies will seek to preserve and protect each other’s distinctiveness and will be respectful of each Academy’s respective ethos and mission. The Academies will work collaboratively with each other, sharing knowledge and best practice, to fulfil the Trust’s vision.
