'At Broad Horizons Education Trust (BHET) our vision of improving life chances for all pupils is at the heart of our school sponsorship. It is the motivation of our Trust and our mission. It is what drives us to achieve and to succeed. To achieve our vision it is essential that we continue to develop the BHET approach to raising standards and our underpinning values are: Students at the heart of everything we do with an explicit understanding that happy students achieve. *Community being at the core of our work, everyone plays their part to achieve the best outcomes for all pupils. *Collaboration brings us success by enabling teams of teachers and BHET staff to share collective responsibility for leading, coordinating and delivering effective teaching and learning for our Academies. *Valuing People - The most important asset that the trust has is its people. Any success achieved by the Broad Horizons Education Trust or the Trust's Schools comes from the staff. 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. It is anticipated that across this next contract term, further schools within the trust will be added to the successful bidder's scope and the tender process will include a methodology for pricing any new schools that reflects the spirit of the initial contract model. Adding all of the self-operated schools into scope would raise the annual contract value to just over PS1m at current staffing levels. Please see PSQ Document for more information.
