The descriptions below of our ‘why’, ‘how’ and ‘what’ define the work we are developing as a Trust. They are an aspiration, and we are always striving to achieve them.

**Connected** (sharing information openly, broadly and deliberately)

**Helpful** (embracing servant leadership and use initiative to solve the problem)

**Organised** (employing efficient strategies and trust colleagues to deliver)

**Informed** (asking coaching questions to understand what is happening)

**Candid** (disagreeing openly and compassionately)

**Effective **(only retaining our best elements and looking for continuous improvement)

**Simple** (avoiding complexity and increasing clarity)

**What is our strategy?**

We will use our culture to ensure the work of the Trust;
- Focuses on creating capacity (time and resources) for schools
- Ensures support is agile, providing intervention at the earliest opportunity
- Supports schools to employ and invest in the best educators for children
- Seeks continuous improvement and disruptive innovation

This is a fantastic opportunity for the right person.
