Introduction: Trust Mission and Values
CORE Education Trust’s mission is to provide children with a high-quality educational experience realised through a collective commitment to four CORE Values:
Collaboration
We will promote, facilitate and support an outward facing culture in all our Schools.
Opportunity
We will run our Schools efficiently and effectively to develop capacity, ensure transparent governance and improve performance.
Respect
We will commit to beyond statutory safeguarding standards in our Schools and additionally ensure all our children have access to a wide range of cultural experiences.
Excellence
We will be uncompromising in our aspiration to achieve the highest standards in all our endeavours and be committed to investing in programmes of excellence for all our staff to achieve this.
Each School will be supported, challenged and monitored to ensure these Values are embedded. As well as incorporating the CORE Values in the environment of the School and by adopting them into specific School initiatives, each School is required to determine and promote a bespoke set of “CORE Characteristics”. These characteristics map each Value to a staff and student/pupil entitlement agreed by the Headteacher as appropriate to the local context of the School. The characteristics will be identifiable features of the School and celebrated with visitors to the School and stakeholders.
A CORE education for the children at each of our Schools is underpinned by a curriculum philosophy at the centre of which lies an uncompromising focus on the development of character and communication.
