Our Vision

Mission Statement

The Heart of Mercia Academy Trust will be a highly respected educational provider for all its students.  Students will have the autonomy and responsibility to grow, acquire skills and make decisions within a supportive, caring environment and will have high expectations placed upon them. They will flourish not just academically but socially and in terms of their wider skills.  This will enable them to be highly successful in their personal lives, in further study and in employment.

Member organisations will retain their unique identities and links with their immediate communities, but will share a commitment to Heart of Mercia Academy Trust’s Mission and Values.

The Heart of Mercia Academy Trust will operate efficiently to maximise the resources that are devoted to teaching and learning and to creating attractive and sustainable environments for people to work and learn.  This will be achieved through collaborative purchasing and working across all member organisations wherever beneficial and through consistently applying best practice in financial control.

The Heart of Mercia Academy Trust will be a supportive employer with many opportunities for staff to share best practice through formal and informal staff development across all member organisations of the Trust. 

GROWTH PLAN

As a growing Trust, our key objectives are as follows:

• To be open to new academies joining either in the sixth form or secondary phase or in a phase that is a new one for us..

• To work with other Trusts with potential for future closer collaboration and possible consolidation.

• To work with the RISE team and be open to taking on a struggling school if the educational and business cases are appropriate for both parties.
