Our Values

ATT2030 sets a values-driven culture that is explicit about how we work and lead:

  • Belonging & Becoming: we meet each child where they are, and refuse to leave them there – giving them both roots and wings.
  • Integrity & Excellence: we act ethically, celebrate excellence, and pursue high standards in all that we do.
  • High Trust, High Accountability: decision-making sits close to pupils and communities; principals are trusted as strategic leaders; the central team acts as expert partner; accountability is professional, dialogic, and focused on learning and improvement.

Our Three Goals

Everything in ATT2030 is organised around three interlinked goals that describe the kind of people – pupils and adults – that we are forming:

  • Capable: equipped with the knowledge, skills, and emotional readiness to perform to a high standard, adapt to change, and contribute meaningfully.
  • Competent: possessing the knowledge, habits, and judgement to get things done – well, reliably, and independently – handling setbacks and making steady progress.
  • Confident: feeling safe, happy, and known – secure enough to take risks, speak up, and grow with purpose and integrity.

Our Nine Aims (by 2030)

These goals translate into nine aims that define success for ATT by 2030:

Capable

  1. Professional Excellence – skilled professionals delivering consistently high standards.
  2. Fluent Learners and Thinkers – confident, curious learners fluent in communication and technology.
  3. Multiple Pathways to Success – diverse routes that recognise varied talents and passions.

Competent

  1. Purposeful, Knowledge-Rich Learning – rigorous, meaningful learning that enriches lives.
  2. Unwavering Focus – purposeful use of time and energy on what matters most.
  3. Strength Through Challenge – resilience built by tackling challenge and learning from it.

Confident

  1. Valued and Empowered Individuals – everyone known, valued, and supported to be their best.
  2. Leading with Integrity, Celebrating Excellence – values-led leadership and cultures that recognise excellence.
  3. Moments That Shape Us – deliberate rites of passage and significant experiences that foster growth and self-discovery.

Our Approach to Working Together

We are building a high-trust, high-accountability organisation. Principals are empowered as strategic leaders of their academies; the central team provides expert challenge, support, tools, and evidence; accountability is reframed as professional dialogue aimed at continuous improvement, not blame. This is how we ensure that every child leaves us capable, competent, and confident.
