CORE Education Trust

CORE Education Trust’s mission is to provide children with a high-quality educational experience realised through a collective commitment to four CORE Values: COLLABORATION We join in and contribute. We are outward-facing and open to new possibilities. OPPORTUNITY We combine imagination with daring. We seek out new experiences beyond the ordinary. RESPECT We cherish the richness of difference. We take time to understand each other. EXCELLENCE We nurture each other and invest in ourselves. We’re proud of our achievements, yet always aiming higher. Each School will be supported, challenged and monitored to ensure these Values are embedded. As well as incorporating the CORE Values in the environment of the School and by adopting them into specific School initiatives, each School is required to determine and promote a bespoke set of “CORE Characteristics”. These characteristics map each Value to a staff and student/pupil entitlement agreed by the Headteacher as appropriate to the local context of the School. The characteristics will be identifiable features of the School and celebrated with visitors to the School and stakeholders. A CORE education for the children at each of our Schools is underpinned by a curriculum philosophy at the centre of which lies an uncompromising focus on the development of character and communication.
