Vision and Values

Fortis Trust Outreach Service

Our Vision

Strength through partnership

Through collaboration and partnership we believe that all schools and provisions can be their very best, providing their communities with compassionate and equitable cultures, aspirational curriculums and inspiring and innovative learning approaches and wider opportunities. Through our partnerships, we strive to work collaboratively to enable all young people to be fully prepared for their next stage in life, whether it is onto the next stage in education or preparing for employment.

Children and young people need and deserve the right start in life academically, socially and emotionally whatever stage of their educational journey. We strive to develop the character of everybody involved in the trust, through challenge and support for improvement and development. We aim to bring out the best in everybody. Staff at all levels are supported in their roles and to prepare for their next steps through personalised development opportunities and excellent professional learning training days and programmes.

We do not work in isolation. We know that our ‘strength through partnership’ must go beyond our trust.  Therefore, we work beyond our Trust with local schools, the community, local charities, local employers and local and national advisory networks. In addition, we work more broadly across the region and system, so that we can learn from each other, harness best practice, access the latest research, and secure the expertise of those beyond the school system who share our values.

Our Mission

Fortis Trust exists to work together to make a positive global difference for all through collaboration and innovation.
