To ensure that Achievement through Collaboration is well placed to make a significant contribution to improving attainment at Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4, as well as improving outcomes for young people more widely the focus areas of our strategic plan align with the widely, recognised indicators of “strong trusts”
Achievement through Collaboration (AtC) is a Trust of strong schools located across the North West. Together, we strive to ensure our pupils have access to the powerful learning that breaks cycles of disadvantage and drives social justice.
At Achievement through Collaboration we Achieve:
- It’s our aim to ensure all children have the knowledge, skills and character to shape future success for themselves and their world.
- As an inclusive Trust, we strive for equity for every child, fully developing each child’s potential; recognising and valuing all learning.
- We work to ensure our pupils are equipped to overcome any barrier to a successful future.
At Achievement through Collaboration we Belong:
- We value the identities, heritage and cultures of each of our children, adults and schools; and build a culture of belonging where individuals and groups flourish and contribute to each other’s successful future.
- Our values and purpose, codify how we work together. They ensure that schools retain the individuality to serve their different communities whilst also demonstrating that they work in trust with the other members of Achievement through Collaboration.
- Those who lead and govern communicate the Trust’s values and purpose through their service to schools and their communities. Their behavioural norms define what it is to belong to Achievement through Collaboration
At Achievement through Collaboration we Collaborate:
- We share good practice, support schools, provide opportunities for children, staff and our communities.
- Through this collaboration we mobilise the best research and evidence to focus relentlessly on knowledge-building so that every staff member in every school is as good as they can be in what they do and how they do it.
- Our collaboration draws upon the diversity within the trust to overcome the barriers of bias, stereotype and discrimination, building cohesive communities.
However,whilst our mission unites us, it is of utmost importance to us that AtC schools retain their individuality so that they can effectively serve their unique communities.
Through a clear scheme of delegation and articulation of the values and beliefs of Achievement through Collaboration, we’ve built an organisation where schools have the individuality to make the right choices for their pupils, staff and communities within a culture of alignment.
