Key aims for our trust are to:

• Ensure consistently high expectations across all of our schools among

pupils, parents, carers and staff.

• Enable all pupils to access high quality teaching and learning experiences

by sharing ‘best practice’, resources and staff within the partnership, and

developing creative and transformational approaches to help us to raise

standards more consistently across our schools.

• Work more effectively with parents, carers and the wider community to

promote health and well-being, develop a more aspirational culture, and

develop a more integrated approach with other partners working with

children and communities, such as health, social care, sport and leisure.

• Work with external partners to help us be even more imaginative and

creative in providing opportunities for family and community learning and

wider cultural experiences.

• Build on the Business and Enterprise specialism at City to strengthen our

commitment to a global perspective based on principles of co-operative

values, respect, social justice, fair trade and democracy.
