Empowering colleagues

Empowering colleagues

Across our Trust, in all aspects of decision making and interactions, ethical leadership underpins our approach, upholding integrity, fairness and accountability in all we do.

Our leaders lead by example, with their own practice guided by strong moral principles that inspire their colleagues to do the same.

We strive to foster strong positive teamwork, by prioritising wellbeing and growth with the team, with a culture built on trust, respect, and open communication.  Our leaders empower their teams by recognising and nurturing talent, providing opportunities for all colleagues to contribute, grow and develop.

Our Trust has a culture of shared ownership, where all colleagues feel valued and empowered to thrive and support in delivering the best for children and young people across our schools.

Becoming Wonderful

Seeing is believing! We are immensely proud of our schools, and we encourage all candidates applying for a post to visit the school they are applying to. All our schools have their own individual heritage, identity, values and vision which align to our overall Trust ones, but to see our colleagues and amazing children thriving in their own setting will give you an invaluable insight.

All our colleagues are valued in the role they perform, and we all aspire to ensure the education provided is forward-thinking and outward-looking, where aspirations are high and ambitions unlimited. We are a confident community, where teaching is inspirational, every individual is valued, and pupils are proud of their school.

We will enable leaders and schools to be ambitious in the education we offer, by providing them with the best research-based and classroom-tested strategies and knowledge, to make a difference to children’s lives.

 

Our Family

We believe, as a family of schools with shared values, that we can work together in partnership to provide the absolute best education for the children in our care. As a collection of community, church, and village schools, we are passionate about being part of the communities we serve and wish to ensure our community schools not only survive in the future but continue to thrive. In the current period of change, we believe it is important that we build upon our already strong links and seek together, in partnership, to support each other and to create the optimum learning experience for our children.

The Wonder Learning Partnership unites a family of schools who work collectively, in partnership, to serve our local community. We are a Multi Academy Trust, a Trust that works together with our schools, to ensure they retain their own unique ethos, identity, name, and Governing Body structure.

Our vision is that the Trust will, due to changes being brought about by the national government, become the natural home for schools that will be required over the next few years to become academies. We are also conscious that other Multi Academy Trusts, nationally, may not share similar values and, as a family of local community schools, we believe it is crucial that we remain accountable to our parents, villages, and communities.
