Our mission revolves around nurturing each individual's potential within our schools, ensuring that every student, staff member, and community we serve benefits from enriching experiences and opportunities.

Our commitment extends to enhancing educational experiences, professional development, and constantly upgrading our facilities to ensure the best possible environment for learning and growth.

Our Vision

Our vision is centred on enabling every young person to achieve exceptional outcomes, progress, and attainment. This goal is pursued through a combination of ambitious curriculum content, expert teaching, and thorough assessment across all our academies. We recognise and celebrate the unique character and culture of each school, ensuring that these qualities are reflected in their academic and co-curricular offerings. As a trust, we provide the framework and support for each school to express and develop its unique character and culture, thereby enriching the educational experience for all.

Our Values

RAISE - Respect, Ambition, Integrity, Service, Equity. In the Gateway Trust, we are guided by a set of core values that resonate with our mission and vision.
