What Makes Us Different? What Makes Us Different?
What do we mean by centralisation?
The primary goal at RAISE Education Trust is to deliver consistently high standards across all our schools.
The fear for some schools when centralisation is discussed is the loss of autonomy, local knowledge and experience that exists within them. Joining a MAT can feel like a takeover so it is important to understand the benefits of this partnership.
Centralisation of some key tasks saves time and money, that time and money can be reinvested into teaching pupils and improving outcomes. The time saved also allows school leaders to focus their energies on their primary objective of improving student outcomes and wellbeing.
Our shared Trust’s belief is that “alone we are strong, together we are stronger.” This principle underpins everything we do, reinforcing our commitment to collaboration and unity. We recognise that while individual strength is important, the true potential of our Trust is realised when we work together, leveraging our collective expertise and resources.
Central to this belief is our Charter for Excellence, which embodies our dedication to consistently sharing excellent practices and expertise across all aspects of school life. The Charter serves as a framework guiding our actions, ensuring that we uphold the highest standards in education, administration, and community engagement.
RAISE Education Trust Charter for Excellence centralises our key services and provides our ‘golden threads’ to supporting schools and raising achievement for all:
- Efficiency and Cost Savings
- Quality and Consistency
- Specialisation and Expertise
- Better Resource Allocation
- Enhanced Data Management
- Improved Strategic Planning and Coordination
- Enhanced Training and Development
A Culture of Collaboration
By fostering a culture of collaboration and mutual support, we are able to bring together diverse perspectives and innovative solutions. This collective effort enriches our educational environment, providing a more robust and dynamic learning experience for our students. The sharing of best practices not only enhances the quality of education but also promotes a culture of continuous improvement and professional development among our staff.
Our commitment to working together with ambition and integrity means that we strive for excellence in all that we do, always with a focus on sustainability and the long-term success of our students. We believe that integrity is the cornerstone of effective collaboration, ensuring that our efforts are always aligned with our core values and educational mission.
By uniting our strengths, we are better equipped to find solutions that are not only effective but also sustainable. This approach supports our students’ educational journeys by providing them with a stable and enriching learning environment, preparing them for future success.
In essence, our Trust is a community where each member’s strengths are amplified through collaboration, leading to a more powerful and positive impact on our students’ educational experiences. Together, we create a supportive, innovative, and excellent educational environment that nurtures and inspires every student to achieve their full potential.
