create learning trust
London
In education, teachers often refer to a moment when they see something ‘click’
for a child; the exact moment where a concept is understood, an imagination is
lit or an idea is formed. Create Learning Trust is a network of academies
committed to giving children and young people moments like that in their
education. We embrace innovation, share best practice and shape opportunities;
creating an environment that sparks and ignites the talents and interests of our
staff and students. To achieve this, every member of our community is committed
to: Working together to provide the best quality of education Encouraging
innovation, self-belief and confidence Acting with a moral purpose and with
integrity Our Principles After looking at the strengths of our schools, and
reviewing number of successful MATs, as well as analysing issues for MATs who
have faced difficulties, Trustees have created a list of principles that will
underpin the trust. The trust will be made up of Trustees who know our schools
and our communities and/or have specialist skillsets Every academy will retain a
Local Governing Body and as much responsibility as possible will be delegated to
them Each school will retain its own individual identity and ethos. We want
Create Learning Trust to be the sum of different, complementary parts, that work
together to create a strong and supportive environment We will, however, look to
share ideas and best practice to reduce teacher workload and embrace innovation
Our Trust is committed to supporting and recognising the contribution of all
staff make, and is focused on job retention and creation We will be innovative
in how we ensure we get value for money from contracts and also, in the future,
generate income to support our schools. The focus will always be on how we can
invest our resources to maximise the benefits for our pupils.
