At IPAT, our ambition for our schools and pupils knows no bounds. Each leader, teacher, and support staff member is dedicated to delivering an exceptional and transformative educational journey to every pupil through effective collaboration. Our commitment to School Improvement is deeply ingrained in the unwavering belief that continuous improvement is attainable for every school. By doing so, we not only better serve our communities but also cultivate an environment where profound transformation takes root.
As we aim to support schools both within the Trust and beyond, we echo the vision of The Church of England for church schools “to serve for the common good of the whole community.” IPAT embodies an outward-facing philosophy, characterised by a genuine willingness to humbly serve other schools and groups of schools. Our overarching vision is that all schools within the Trust collaborate effectively to enhance the overall quality of education for every pupil under our care. Moreover, we are committed to ensuring that this educational uplift extends its influence far beyond our immediate circle of schools. IPAT stands as an integral component of a broader system, driving school improvement and effecting transformative changes in education throughout the East Midlands and beyond.
Our strategy for school improvement is deeply rooted in evidence-based practices. This commitment ensures that we wisely invest our valuable time and resources in initiatives that will have the greatest positive influence on our pupils, especially those who may be considered vulnerable. The Trust’s approach to school improvement is designed to empower school leaders to embed evidence-based pedagogy. Each trust school is unique, which will necessitate tailored approaches. By providing the right balance of challenge and support, and by adapting systems to align with the specific context of each academy, we are committed to fostering success and growth across all our schools.
