ONE Vision and Culture

We believe that every child has the right to an engaging, exciting education. We believe in providing inclusive, supportive and safe learning environments for all our children. ONE Academy Trust has a strong collaborative ethos and strives to facilitate the sharing of best practice to help schools to achieve this.

Looking to the future and planning ahead is central to the way we do things at ONE. That’s why we are proud to introduce our 3 year Strategic Plan: Everyone Matters, our ambitious programme for the next 3 years.

Our six priority areas are:

 

Culture

A self-sustaining system: Fostering a culture of continuous and adaptive improvement through accurate self-evaluation, challenge, support and appropriate action

Education

High quality, inclusive education: Creating a co-constructed and coherent conception of quality of education, including inclusivity.

 

People

A skilled workforce: Creating a high-performing working culture for all staff that promotes collaboration, aspiration and support.

 

Finance

Viable and sustainable: Using financial data and intelligence to set a stable and accurate financial strategy recognising the importance of robust strategies to support innovative, effective and efficient use of resources across the Trust.

Governance

Enhancing Governance: Having governance arrangements that demonstrate legitimate and visionary leadership, clarity of governing and managerial relationships, effective oversight, supportive structures for sustainability and to achieve the greatest possible economies.  

Sustainability

Tangible asset management: Improve the way premises and assets are used to support.  

 

Our central team provides the schools across our Academy with the support that is needed to enable us to grow in our individual communities. ONE Academy Trust has invested in a central team which not only provides robust leadership in the areas of Human resources, finance and operations management, but it is a team that is available, personable and knowledgeable about our individual settings and needs.
