It is what drives us to achieve and to succeed.

We, therefore, believe that championing staff improvement is a key driver for school improvement. We also believe that giving staff opportunities to be successful and to enjoy their achievement is an important part of the workplace. In everything that we do, we will be open, honest, transparent and trusting.' Initially, in scope for this project are 3 of the Trust's schools; Thorpe St Andrew School and Sixth Form Hemblington Primary School Hillside Avenue Primary and Nursery School The schools in scope are currently outsourced and are all within a few miles of each other on the eastern perimeter of Norwich.
