Our vision is to use the strength of the Trust to create a community which seeks to raise the enjoyment, achievement and aspirations for all, ensuring children and families are supported through their learning journey and school life in pursuit of excellence.
The values of the Trust are underpinned by the principles of equality, inclusion and commitment to supporting the well-being of every child and their family in our schools.
We believe that by working together we can improve the life chances of our children and young people across Middlesbrough, by: The values and ethical principles of the Co-operative Movement, especially the ideals of self-help and responsibility, as well as active membership, will underpin the work of the schools – and the Trust.
