Our vision is 'Excellence and Ambition for all', which is the shared vison of all Stamford Park Trust academies. Stamford Park Trust exists to improve the life chances of all students in the Trust. It aims to add social value through working effectively with educational establishments in the Trust with an unflinching focus on quality improvement.
We aim to improve the quality of leadership and management across the Trust through support and challenge, and to provide a broad and balanced curriculum to support positive progression, the realising of ambition and strong wellbeing. In other words, we aim to develop engaged and engaging young people with a stake in their futures and their communities.
Our ambition is best demonstrated through the following: Stamford Park Trust has a supportive yet challenging culture, centred on the development of trust and the encouragement of innovation for all who work for or study in its Academies. We strive to be the very best we can be in all aspects of our work and encourage a collaborative approach to our aims across the Trust.
