The Dean Trust’s Values and Ethos

As part of our protocols, we have a number of over-arching aims and a mission that pervades all of our schools and academies as follows:

Our mission:

Blacklow Brow School is a safe and happy environment where aspirations have no ceiling and our children always come first.

  • We always put ‘pupils first’
  • We follow Local Authority admissions criteria
  • We believe that local children should attend local schools and we are not selective
  • We are fully inclusive and welcome children from vulnerable groups e.g FSM, SEND, LAC etc
  • We continuously provide high-quality professional development for all of our staff
  • We follow the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions and National Joint Council conditions of service
  • We work positively with trade unions and actively involve them in our decision making
  • We play our full role in behaviour partnerships/hard to place protocols
  • We always put collaboration before competition

Aims:

  • To work in the areas of greatest challenge
  • To move all academies in the Trust to at least ‘Good’ using The Dean Trust school improvement offer from the centre (Teaching School)
  • To sustain improvements by developing character, values and beliefs alongside sound systems and processes
  • To ensure that all academies in our Trust adopt The Dean Trust model for success, high aspirations, high standards and continuous improvement throughout the organisation
  • To concentrate our operation within a 50-mile radius of the Central Hub to ensure that coverage of the academy group and lead times are manageable and focused
  • The Trust would have at the centre The Dean Trust Teaching School and high-quality School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT)
  • To have high-quality academy/school governance at the heart of the process
  • To establish a strong centralised ‘back office’ support service for the academy group which is well-resourced and funded to meet operational needs.
