Values and ways of working:

To build the best possible working environment for us all, it is vitally important that every member of the team embraces and demonstrates the behaviours that embody our values:

We work together:

You’re committed to building a trusting and open culture.  You welcome feedback from everyone, with an open and willing mindset. You nurture the development of others, supporting testing and learning from mistakes positively.

We include everyone:

You naturally collaborate and ensure that inclusivity allows us to take full advantage of cognitive diversity. You’re naturally empathetic with others and are able to create development and growth with honesty, supporting those in and outside of your team.

We take ownership:

You battle complacency in all its forms and take ownership to move things forward. You can be agile and progress in small steps, but you don’t leave it to other to correct your mistakes or pick up after you.

We never stand still:

You are agile, with a mentality of ‘how can we’ rather than ‘why can’t we’. It isn’t about breaking rules, but about being tenacious and innovative. You look to create greatness, even if achieved slowly by many incremental improvements.

We do it for them:

You are passionate about creating an environment where everyone else around you can be motivated, enthused, and empowered to do their best work. With everyone motivated to do their best, teachers, students, and parents all gain the ultimate value and support.
