Trust ethos & values
Our name is rooted in history and expresses a geographical identity and ambition. The ancient kingdom of Mercia encompassed much of what we now recognize as the West Midlands – and crucially for us it included what we now call the Black Country. It was in Mercia that St Chad established an association of small monasteries which fostered unity through bonds of kinship.
Now, a thousand years later, we look to demonstrate the same spirit in our approach. We are a family of schools committed to each other – diverse in nature, proud custodians of our history and success, but together, one charitable Trust with a common purpose.
Our Trust exists to equip our students to live life to the full.
Our mission is increasing opportunities and improving outcomes to enable our students to:
- Realize their
- Thrive in the world of
- Make a positive contribution to the local, national and international
Our values are:
- Excellence and Rigor
- Challenge and Support
- Safety and Wellbeing
- Acceptance and Applause
