Mission StatementTo inspire young people to make their best better.

Page 10: €¦  · Web viewThe Academies Enterprise Trust recognises the value of, and seeks to achieve, a diverse workforce which includes people from differing backgrounds with different

Vision Statement

To help students achieve world class learning outcomes by developing world class teachers in a world class community.

Ethos Statement

Every young person deserves the opportunity to have a life that can be described as ‘good quality’, free from fear and danger, where they can give and receive respect to and from others with a sense of well-being, belonging, worth and achievement.

AET Academies will become High Performing Organisations and, therefore, must be the:

Education provider of choice for students. Employer of choice for staff. Investment of choice for parents.

Values and Beliefs

Through our actions and behaviours we will strive to develop young people who:

Respect themselves and the community (people, property and theenvironment), and seek to have a positive impact on society;

Are polite, calm, caring, honest, trustworthy and helpful; Are responsible, independent and supportive of each other; Are tolerant, open minded and not prejudiced; Are determined and have a strong work ethic; Will be thoughtful and compassionate with the ability to listen and challenge in

a considerate fashion; Have good communication skills; Offer themselves as good role models for future generations of learners and

citizens; Can demonstrate strong self-belief and confidence and have high aspirations; Are team players who can work and support others, and where necessary are

able to take on leadership roles;

For further information about the Academies Enterprise Trust please visit our website www.academiesenterprisetrust.org or contact [email protected] to answer any questions you may have.

A commitment to training and personal development

As we head further into the 21st century and all schools and academies come to terms with the ever changing face of the workforce, leadership and management of

Page 11: €¦  · Web viewThe Academies Enterprise Trust recognises the value of, and seeks to achieve, a diverse workforce which includes people from differing backgrounds with different

professional development is at the very top of the AET’s agenda. We firmly believe that personal and professional growths are key factors in staff’s perception of their worth to an organisation and consequently in how much additional effort they are prepared to put into that organisation.

The aim, therefore, of the team leading CPD across the AET is to facilitate the design, co-ordination and monitoring of coherent and effective development activities and training programmes that address the challenges and barriers facing each academy and embed training and development as the central component of workforce development and school improvement.

Our vision for our academies is to develop a learning-centred culture with the entire school workforce, including both teachers and educational support staff, giving the same attention to the design, delivery and monitoring of their professional development as is given to the teaching and learning of students. Indeed, for our academies to continue to improve, teachers and other adults need to feel that their learning and development is just as important as the students’.

The AET’s fundamental philosophy is to ‘build the capacity and pace of leaders at all levels of the academy to take responsibility for their own academy’s (phase or aspect) continuous and sustainable improvement. It is not the role of AET Central Services officers to instruct academy-based staff, on the what or the how of doing their jobs. It is the responsibility of AET Professional Services Team staff to challenge, support and monitor the progress and development of the academy-based services:

Regional Managing Director engagement Leadership development CPD for the whole school workforce Ofsted guidance and support Maturity Matrices English and Literacy Mathematics and Numeracy Finance Facilities (including Security, Health and Safety) Resident Ofsted Inspector Finance Human Resources (including recruitment and retention) Learning Technologies Data and Information ICT Infra-structure Community Sports Development PSHE Education and CEIAG support Community Learning Marketing and Public Relations Governor Training Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Partnerships including apprenticeship programmes Teaching School Network
