Our anchors
As a values-led trust, our beliefs and principles drive everything we do. We have a set of values (we call them our anchors) that describe our personality, set our ambitions, drive our decisions and filter into every aspect of our work.
We want to be known for being
...so these qualities are embedded into our DNA.
A sense of empowerment
We don’t believe schools should become clones of others in a Trust. Our unique schools are given autonomy and encouragement to embrace differences, share ideas, and succeed together.
A promise to do things right
For the world, for our people, and for your pupils, we’re committed to taking a stand to uphold strong moral values – holding each other accountable and acting with integrity.
Exciting opportunities for the future
Connect prides ourselves on being a forward-thinking and dynamic Trust. We, and our schools, bravely look ahead for ways to expand horizons, learn more effectively, to create a better future.
A genuine, human connection
Real community comes from being part of a group that looks after each other – encouraging children and adults alike, and supporting them with kindness and compassion.
"I feel incredibly supported. It is great being a part of a Trust as there are opportunities to work with many other talented, wise and supportive people."
"As a new headteacher into the trust, I value the collaborative ethos that runs through the central and leadership team. This allows me to utilise the expertise of the colleagues beyond our school."
"There's a supportive and caring atmosphere. Senior leaders are aware of staff and pupil wellbeing and always consider ways this can be improved. I feel listened to."
“Leigham is a really inclusive school and no matter what your ability, there is always something to praise and celebrate.”
“The great teamwork and collaboration means that all schools contribute towards and benefit from Trust-wide support.”
