Principles of effective partnership

• Equal partners

  ---

  Our academies are equal partners within the Trust and at all times the partners strive for consensus in decision making. We work collaboratively with each other, sharing resources, knowledge and best practice.

• Transparency

  ---

  We are open and honest in our dealings with each other, at all times acting in good faith

• Subsidiarity

  ---

  Decisions are taken at the level nearest to those affected by those decisions, which is compatible with the principles of solidarity and support for the common good

• Solidarity

  ---

  We share a commitment for the mutual support of all academies for whom the Trust is responsible

• The common good

  ---

  All recognise their responsibility towards the common good, not just of the academies, but of all the families and communities in the areas served by the Trust
