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.
"Our boy started school at Preston this year and what can I say, the school is fantastic! As our first child going to school we were naturally a little anxious but everyone at the school has made us and our son feel so welcome! I would highly recommend."
“Whilst all schools invest in the trust values, each school is encouraged to develop and deliver the curriculum in their unique way.”
“Teachers were so welcoming with big smiles, changed my kids’ lives for the better.”
"As a parent of two children attending Eggbuckland Vale Primary School I have experienced first hand the nurturing and supportive environment that has always encouraged high standards of achievement. I have no hesitation in recommending the school to new parents and their children as a place they can be confident will take their child from strength to strength."
“The great teamwork and collaboration means that all schools contribute towards and benefit from Trust-wide support.”
