Vision, Values and Ethos
Aletheia Vision
Aletheia schools are motivated by our vision and values to serve our communities by improving the life chances of local children. Aletheia schools welcome those of all faiths and none and are proud of the inclusive nature and diversity of each cohort of children. Our schools seek to embody the experience of community and collaboration, where talents are shared, where the emphasis is on what can be contributed and where each is given according to need.
At the heart of the Aletheia vision is the belief in educational and individual excellence and the belief that Aletheia is called to serve our local communities, now and for the future. We will do this by providing safe places where children, young people and adults develop and thrive intellectually, socially, physically, culturally, spiritually and emotionally.
Aletheia Academies Trust will deliver its vision by:
• Developing a Trust for all ages /phases of education, with member schools working in partnership and learning from each other.
• Promoting an ethos, motivated by Christian values and based on a belief in the value and potential of every student to achieve excellence academically and in their wider studies, and become fully the best person they can be.
• Pursuing pastoral excellence, so that our children and young people are fully prepared for the next phase in life.
• Creating strong leadership at all levels that impacts effectively on academy performance.
• Providing a sustainable model to support a self-improving school system and civic institution.
