Achievement through Caring

Why?

Because education is everyone’s passport to a world beyond limitations and inequality; we, as educators, have the ability to permit access to worlds unimagined and should never underestimate the value of such a privileged position. By inculcating caring cultures, accessible yet aspirational curricula, and extensive opportunities in preparation for adulthood, all children and young people are supported to achieve academically, developmentally, and spiritually.

How?

Our Learning for Life Framework outlines our inclusive pillars for achieving our vision: learning, health and wellbeing, individual development, safeguarding and attendance, and communities. Our schools hold Learning for Life central to their school systems, cultures and decision making ensuring a consistent approach to supporting all learners to thrive.

What?

Our Learning for Life Framework underpins all schools’ offers of education, from 2-19. We provide a broad universal offer and by knowing our learners well, combined with rigorous tracking and incisive decision making, we provide timely needs-led support to allow all children and young people to thrive. We believe in a life beyond labels where children and young people receive the right support, at the right time.

As a parent, one of the questions that’s always been at the back of my mind is, what if my child struggles when they move into secondary school? 💛

Watching this short animation really reassured me. Across the Marches Academy Trust, there is a strong, joined‑up support system in place to help every child feel safe, supported and able to succeed.

From the support built into everyday mainstream lessons, through to more personalised help and full interventions when needed, children are never left to struggle alone. The Learning for Life framework means staff know the children well and can put the right support in place at the right time.

It’s comforting to know that whether a child needs a little extra help, targeted support, or more specialist intervention, there is a clear pathway and a team around them every step of the way 🌱

If you’re a parent wondering what support looks like as your child grows and transitions through school, this is well worth a watch.
