ABOUT UNITED LEARNING
OUR ETHOS Our approach is underpinned by a sense of moral purpose and a commitment to doing what is right for children and young people, supporting colleagues to achieve excellence and acting with integrity in all our dealings within and beyond the Group, in the interests of young people everywhere. We believe the safety and welfare of all children and young people is paramount. We summarise this ethos as ‘The Best in Everyone’. This ethos underpins our core values: AMBITION – to achieve the best for ourselves and others; CONFIDENCE – to have the courage of our convictions and to take risks in the right cause; CREATIVITY – to imagine possibilities and make them real; RESPECT – of ourselves and others in all that we do; ENTHUSIASM – to seek opportunity, find what is good and pursue talents and interests; DETERMINATION – to overcome obstacles and achieve success. As a single organisation, we seek to bring together the best of independent and state sectors, respecting both traditions and learning from each. We believe that each of our schools is, and should be, distinctive – each is committed to developing its own distinctive strengths and identity while sharing our core values as institutions which promote service, compassion and generosity.
ABOUT
UNITED LEARNING
United Learning is a group of schools, which aims to provide excellent education to children and young people across the country. With a turnover of £364 million, we are one of the largest charities in the UK. We seek to improve the life chances of all the children and young people we serve and make it our mission to bring out the best in everyone – students, staff, parents and the wider community. We have grown considerably in recent years and now have close to 60 schools across the state and independent sectors along with three central function offices. Together, we are one of the country’s largest education providers, currently educating approximately 40,000 students and employing over 7,600 members of staff. We provide a broad education, which prepares young people to progress in learning and to make a success of their lives. We focus sharply on the evidence of what makes it more likely that young people will progress and succeed, apply that to our practice and continue to learn and develop our schools. We make it a priority to provide teachers with excellent professional support and development, so that every child receives an excellent experience. Through being a group, we can offer more to both staff and young people than any single school could offer alone. The growing range of outstanding group-wide activities than we can provide means that more young people will have truly
exceptional and inspiring experiences. Already, we believe that our group contains the most developed relationships and practical interaction between independent and state schools in the country, creating benefits for all the schools involved.
