  2. We deliver consistently high quality teaching and learning.
  3. We encourage all learners to make good or better progress.
  4. We work tirelessly to diminish the difference and overcome disadvantage.

  1. Grow capacity and sustainability.
  2. Build a culture of teamwork and collective accountability, including the efficient use of resources and taking pride in our learning environment.
