Strategic Objectives

What sort of a Trust do we want to be?

At Engage Enrich Excel Academies, our vision is to be a beacon of high-quality primary education where every child can realise their aspirations. With a growing family of eight schools, we proudly celebrate the unique identity of each school, ensuring they are deeply rooted in, and responsive to, the communities they serve.

At the heart of our work are the values that shape us: Belong, Respect, and Empower.

We want every pupil, member of staff, and family to feel a strong sense of belonging; to know they are seen, valued, and part of something meaningful. We uphold respect in every interaction, creating inclusive environments where diversity is celebrated, voices are heard, and collaboration thrives. We empower our leaders and educators to innovate, take ownership, and lead with purpose, always driven by the belief that together, we grow stronger.

Our approach empowers schools with the autonomy they need to thrive, supported by a Trust-wide culture of inclusivity, integrity, and continuous learning. Rooted in a strong foundation of school improvement, we embrace both internal and external collaboration—always seeking to learn from others and to share what we know.

Staff and pupil well-being remains central to our ethos, as we create schools characterised by positivity, commitment, and excellence. Our growth is purposeful and sustainable, with a clear focus on building leadership capacity and nurturing a culture of professional support and encouragement.

Every decision we make is anchored in our responsibility to improve outcomes for children. Through careful risk management and a mindset of continual improvement, we ensure our actions make a lasting, positive difference.

We know that we are stronger together. Partnerships and collaboration lie at the heart of our resilience, enabling us to adapt, grow, and grasp the opportunities ahead.

All of this is underpinned by five strategic priorities:

• School improvement

• Leadership and governance

• Financial stewardship

• Capacity development

• Environmental sustainability

Together, and through the strength of our shared values, we are building a Trust that is a place of aspiration, opportunity, and collective impact—for every child, every adult, every day.
