St Christopher’s Trust is a registered charity working to deliver our vision of ‘Learning to Live Full Lives in Flourishing Communities’ by enabling its schools to work in partnership as communities within communities to provide every pupil with a high-quality, principled education.
As a charitable Trust, we are responsible for providing education across 21 primary schools in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay.
The Trust intentionally keeps its brand in the background, allowing each school to maintain its unique character and context. The focus is on collective impact, ensuring that skills and expertise are shared across all schools. The day-to-day operations of the Trust are managed with the support of skilled leaders in schools and specialised areas of work.
Our Trust is governed by a Board of Directors who believe we are foremost accountable to pupils, their families and our local communities. Each school is represented by local governors, maintaining a strong link to, and voice for, their community.
We believe that we all contribute to the health and wellbeing of our communities, and we model this for our children. Our curriculum experience and life in school direct us all towards a better future.
We live out our vision through our values of;
We are stronger together and draw on one another's expertise. We foster strong relationships in the interests of building a community, locally, nationally and internationally.
We are reflective and open to learning. We take joy in the success of others before our own.
We foster the uniqueness of each school and seek to develop the gifts and talents of both staff and children. We promote respect for self, peers and adults, for other generations and for common courtesy. We see respect between adults and children as mutual.
We aim to foster a deep sense of belonging and see strength in our differences. We judge ourselves by the height of our aspirations and the breadth of our offer.
We are dependent on our world flourishing and seek to act responsibly with all that is entrusted to us as part of St Christopher’s. We know our roles as guardians of our schools for future generations.
We know that learning and growth are fostered when everyone feels safe, supported and comfortable in being authentic. We seek to be open and honest, acting with integrity.
