Our vision and values

Stronger Together - our new strategy for 2020-23

Our school is part of North Star Community Trust, an educational charity that manages a family of 4 academies in North London, educating some 2,600 pupils.

During 2019, the Trust consulted on a new strategy to take us forward to 2023.

The challenges ahead are significant for everyone involved in education. But the power of education to transform lives is unquestionable and this is what motivates our Trustees. Everything we do is for children.

What will we do over the next three years?

We plan to build on the strong culture we have developed and our track record of success, shaping a new strategy to deliver on our overarching mission to improve life chances.

We also want our children to have lifelong memories of the happy times they had with us, developing a love of learning, and remembering their teachers with fondness and as the role models who inspired them to reach for their dreams.

Addressing children’s whole needs while they are with us at such a key stage of their development – intellectual, emotional and physical - is critical. All children have gifts and we want them to achieve their full potential. Our role is to be bridge builders to opportunity. Excellence through equity is our goal.

We must continue to have the support of our parents in everything that we do. This partnership is fundamental to our success. Studies frequently show that 50% of a child’s achievement is influenced by their parents. We will also enhance our efforts to work with parents to encourage vital learning outside of the classroom and to ensure the current high standards of behaviour of children that are so important to a good education are maintained and strengthened.

The new strategy document sets out in detail some of our high-level objectives and priorities.
