Vision Statement:

The Hornchurch Academy Trust is committed to improving standards and outcomes for pupils in all of our schools regardless of any actual or perceived barriers. Through collaboration and shared excellence in all we do, we aim to provide all children with the highest quality teaching through a high quality sequential curriculum designed to meet the needs of all learners, covering the full National Curriculum.

All schools within the Hornchurch Academy Trust are connected by a shared strategic vision, culture and core purpose. However, each school retains its own unique character which reflects their school community. As a family of schools, we believe that we are stronger together.

Hornchurch Academy Trust has a commitment to being inward developing and outward looking in order to self-improve and deliver the highest quality provision for all learners.

Values:

Responsibility – We are all connected as one organisation with a collective responsibility and united approach. The Trust is the school and the school is the Trust.

Collaboration – We all engage in co-design, take ownership and embrace accountability. Together we enable each other to be better by promoting initiative, innovation and the sharing of best practice.

Support – We are committed to supporting each other in order to improve outcomes for all. We are all capacity givers and capacity takers.

Leadership – We are all leaders and aspiring leaders who will receive the support required to lead with impact and effectively lead our academies. We lead by example and with a moral compass.

Expectations – We are all aspirational and work within the Trust expectations towards the highest denominator. A rising tide lifts all boats.
