At Inspire Education Trust we are passionate about making a
difference to the lives of our pupils. They are at the heart of
everything we do, and we strive to inspire all learners, and want all
our schools to be the best they can be and for each and every child,
to discover the skills, abilities, talents and interests that lie within them.
We believe in working in partnership, enabling us to ensure all children and pupils
achieve their full potential. Our schools know the impact that working collaboratively
can bring.
Our schools have a desire to question, change and innovate to ensure that what they
provide enables our children to become successful learners, confident individuals and
responsible citizens.
At the same time, we recognise the importance for each school to retain and promote
their individual identity. Every school has its own context and challenges. This is why we
encourage our member schools to lead and manage in a way that preserves that
individual identity and responds to the specific needs of their children and community.
The combination of autonomy and collaboration across key areas of leadership and
management, underpinned by shared values and best practice is what makes our
schools special.
