Our Values

• All children should have excellent schools close to where they live.

• Small rural schools can provide an excellent education “small is beautiful”.

• Rural schools are an essential part of the local community.

• We value the individual identities of all our schools.

• We value the special role of the local and diocesan Church in our Church schools.

• By sharing and working in partnership our schools are stronger, more sustainable and provide a better education for local children.

• We will do all we can to prevent the need for a local school to close.

• We will grow our Trust locally to add capacity in a sustainable way

• Parents, staff, the Church and the local community are key stakeholders who should be involved in decision making.
