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.
"The 'real test' of life at Eden Park is how it prepares children for 'real life'. Seeing my eldest daughter transition to secondary school has shown me what a fantastic primary education she has received and how it has prepared her successfully for the next stage of her academic career. From the nursery building blocks, through to Year 6 during a global pandemic, Eden Park has been full of wonderful experiences and opportunities."
"It has felt good to be part of a larger team. I know I can contact other members of the Trust to collaborate, support each other and share our knowledge."
“The Trust and its schools are connected. It is a collaborative way of working whilst schools still have lots of autonomy.”
"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 learning is absolutely fantastic, really encouraging students to set goals and achieve them. The teachers really care about the school and the students’ education.”
