 Areté Learning Trust has 4 key aims:

Areté Learning Trust's strategic aim for Trust growth is to improve the lives and life chances of more young people. 

We can meet this aim by:

  • Improving the performance of our schools.
  • Providing training and support for ITT trainees and contributing to the regional supply of new Early Career Teachers entering teaching.
  • Embracing opportunities to be system leaders through strategic partnerships, including as a delivery partner for the Red Kite Teaching School Hub and offering traded services to other MATs and schools.
  • Attracting new schools to join Areté Learning Trust.

 

We want to: 

  • Be a learning organisation that is continually improving and ambitious for our young people, staff and communities.
  • Find and implement the best moral and ethical ways to support and educate learners.
  • Create an equitable Trust where every school and learner thrives, and where we regularly evaluate our actions to measure the impact we are having for our learners.
  • Focus on sustainability, long-term planning, and a legacy mindset - while managing risk so we can innovate, develop, and be a leading MAT in the North of England.
  • Use digital technology to become more effective and efficient.
  • Support our employees’ wellbeing and work-life balance.
  • Ensure all available resources are delivered to schools to benefit learners, and enable improvement and innovation as an organisational habit.
  • Be an organisation where leaders are strong, effective and authentic - and develop a pipeline of excellent future leaders.
  • Ensure every child has a safe, stimulating, and well-resourced learning environment.
