Strategy For Education

Context

AtC is a collaborative community of individual schools united through common purpose and shared values. Our schools and the communities that they serve are diverse but our educational mission is the same: to equip all of our students with powerful, substantive and disciplinary knowledge and a range of transformative competencies. As a result, we strive to enable our students to reach their potential; living positive, meaningful and healthy lives; making valuable contributions to the world.

We know that in the current educational landscape there are many faces of disadvantage and disempowerment which have the potential to interrupt a great education; from overt poverty, adverse childhood experiences and low self esteem to covert elitism, homogeneity and unconscious bias. Therefore our role as a Trust is to help our schools to “interrupt the patterns and cycles which disempower”

Through education, experiences and opportunities, our schools actively break cycles of disempowerment, remove barriers, and equip the children and young people they serve with the knowledge, confidence and foresight to be able to do the same. Our Strategy for Education supports all of our schools to fulfil this mission and respond effectively to the emerging and changing needs of our society and our students.
