STRATEGIC AIMS

In order to achieve our vision we have identified 9 core strategic aims:

Christian Distinctiveness

1. Ensure that Jesus is at the heart of each of our schools, and that each school has an excellent Christian character in accordance with the Church of England vision for education.

Excellent Education

2. Pursue academic excellence for all and to continually strive to improve progress and raise attainment.

3. Tackle disadvantage and raise aspirations in order that our young people achieve their maximum potential.

4. Ensure that all schools in LDST provide an education that enables children to grow in wisdom and stature - academically, socially, spiritually.

5. To embed a curriculum that will enable our children to develop and build on a deep body of knowledge so that they can grow in understanding, ensuring they know more and remember more.  

Robust, strategic leadership

6. To secure outstanding leadership and management in all of our schools.

7. To ensure that effective safeguarding keeps all of our young people safe at all times and respects the value of individuals.  

8. To promote the mental health and well being of staff and pupils. 

9. To ensure a financially sustainable Trust.

In order to achieve these aims, our schools connect and collaborate to share best practice and innovative approaches rooted in informed evidence.

Learn, Love and Achieve, Together with Jesus
