The Ember Learning Trust will establish a long term sustainable partnerships with a wide variety of other organisations in order to support and deliver outstanding localised, co-ordinated provision for children and young people and the wider community. The vision we have for our proposed Education Trust is of a strong partnership that helps us to: Develop outstanding teaching for all our learners. Increase the level of aspiration and opportunities for our community. Realise the potential of every young person in our community. Ensure excellent employment prospects for our learners. Enrich the curriculum by providing innovative curriculum opportunities to develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of the world, to raise self-esteem and promote pupil wellbeing Improve the experience of transition for our learners at each key stage. Develop our partnership with our parents and the wider community. Develop stronger partnerships with other education providers and employers.

Working as a shared trust will clarify our vision and aims, raise expectation and standards, and make our existing collaboration more sustainable. We believe it will help our children and young people achieve even more than they do now. We aim to provide the high quality education for all children and young people in our communities by working together and promoting community cohesion.
