Our DNA

The strands of Anglian Learning’s DNA are Our Core Values, Core Purpose, Core Vision and Core Principles.

Our Core Values

Our four Core Values are Aspiration, Community, Empowerment and Inclusivity. These are the starting points of what we believe in. Everything we do, no matter our position in the Trust, should be informed by and reference these values.

Aspiration. We are ambitious for ourselves and all those in our community to be the best we can be.

Community. We underpin our relationships with a culture of support, respect and trust, recognising we are stronger together.

Empowerment. We enable our academies, staff and learners to embrace new ideas and think creatively.

Inclusivity. We believe in equality of opportunity, celebrating everyone’s differences and supporting learners of all abilities from all backgrounds.

Our Core Purpose

Our Core Purpose defines why Anglian Learning exists as a multi-academy trust and the purpose of our collective activity. Our Core Purpose is inspired by our Core Values. These are our starting points and shape what we do and how we do it to realise our Core Vision.

‘Transforming Together to enable inclusive and aspirational learning in every classroom, empower leaders across every academy, and ensure inspiring opportunities and educational success for our learners, people and communities.’

Our Core Vision

The Core Vision is what we are aiming to achieve for the young people in our care; this is our aspiration for them. This vision defines what success will look like for our young people. It also applies to our colleagues, who are also learners. Our blueprints define this vision in detail.

Our Core Vision is ‘Dynamic, empowered learners who thrive and lead in their communities: locally, nationally and globally’.

Our Core Principles

To fulfil our purpose, values and visions, we will embed our Core Principles into everyday decisions. The six principles apply to every staff member, setting out our commitments as fellow members of Anglian Learning. They will be applied at all levels, but with context and help to form our decisions and shape how we act within schools, centrally and within our collective communities.

The below video encapsulates how our Core Purpose and Core Principles resonate with colleagues.
