The Trust believes in aspiration, ambition and no excuses, seeking to overcome barriers and never accepting mediocrity. We are committed to a culture where everybody belongs.

• Helping to set and review the schools strategic direction and agreeing targets for improvement
• Holding the Principal and school leaders to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils
