Foreword

FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

This is the second strategic plan for the St John Bosco Catholic Academy and in writing it many things have changed since the last plan.

Our multi academy has significantly grown from its initial three schools to eight. Serving considerably more families and now working across four local authorities.

The first plan served our multi academy well, it sought to strengthen and embed those new schools who joined, looked to support more ably our most vulnerable students.

This plan has been developed following a realignment of our vision and values. As we have grown we have changed, new schools have brought a different dynamic and it felt time to work together as a family, to look at ‘Why’ we do what we do, ‘How’ we will deliver and ‘What’ that looks like for the communities we serve.

Our refocus on the ‘Why’ has led to a vision for our family of schools that has evolved from the thoughts of our school leaders and directors.

We believe that this plan will provide our schools and the communities they serve the best opportunity to meet our vision.
