Across ALP we have an unrelenting drive to achieve the highest possible standards for each one of our children. All staff share best practice, seek opportunities to learn from others and understand that their professional development is fundamental to a child’s success.
The ALP family of schools recognise each school as unique. The schools and their leaders share a Trust wide set of educational principles and then contextualise the principles into a working model to meet the needs of their children. The fundamental challenge of our school leaders is to ensure that the educational offer they provide must be of a standard that they would desire for their own child:
The Trust has established robust structures to support continuous leadership development, ensuring the highest educational standards are met. Collaborative networks across all subjects and themes are woven into our daily practice. ALP's approach is deeply rooted in evidence-based research and involves extensive collaboration with local, regional, and national educational bodies.
The Trust has a cohesive, centralised structure, consisting of a School Improvement Team, a Children’s and Civic Services Team and a School Support Team. The School Support Team enables school leaders to maintain their focus on children and education, with specialists providing the security and foundations for the educational provision, whilst the School Improvement Team support, develop, and evaluate the schools and their leaders to ensure the life chances of every child are realised. The Children's and Civic Services Team creates a flexible educational framework, tailored to each child's unique circumstances, ensuring that all pupils—regardless of their challenges—thrive, achieve and are well-prepared for life beyond school.
In the coming years the Trust seeks to serve all educational pathways with professionalism, investment and shared ethical values. This will ensure the children within our care are successful and safe regardless of the challenges they may face in education and society. We have a proven record of accomplishment in delivering academic improvement. We are enormously proud of our schools, leaders, governors, teachers and support staff who serve the children so well.
