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 opportunities for parents to share workshops makes learning more exciting for our children.”
"A sense of a wider team and support network. You never feel on your own as you are surrounded by knowledge and expertise."
"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."
“Whilst all schools invest in the trust values, each school is encouraged to develop and deliver the curriculum in their unique way.”
“Leigham is a really inclusive school and no matter what your ability, there is always something to praise and celebrate.”
