At Ascent Multi-Academy Trust, our vision is to empower every child with special educational needs to reach their full potential, fostering resilience, confidence, and independence in a nurturing and inclusive environment. We are dedicated to providing exceptional education and support that prepares our students to lead fulfilling lives and make meaningful contributions to their communities.

At Ascent Multi-Academy Trust, we are committed to providing an exceptional education for all our pupils with their individual needs. Our values guide everything we do and are at the heart of our schools’ ethos.

1. Ambition

We set high expectations for what our pupils can achieve. We believe that with the right support and opportunities, every child can make progress and succeed, regardless of their starting point.

2. Inclusivity

We believe that every child has the right to an education that meets their individual needs. We are dedicated to creating inclusive environments where all pupils feel valued, respected, and supported to reach their full potential.

3. Meaningful

We believe that learning should be purposeful and relevant to each child’s life. We strive to create experiences that connect with our pupils’ interests, aspirations, and real-world contexts, helping them to see the value in their education. By making learning meaningful, we inspire curiosity, engagement, and a lifelong love of learning.

4. Respect

Respect is at the heart of our school community. We treat each pupil, staff member, and parent with dignity and kindness, recognising the unique contributions and strengths that each individual brings.

5. Support

We provide the necessary resources, care, and guidance to help our pupils overcome challenges and thrive. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to ensure that each child receives the support they need to learn and grow.

6. Collaboration

As a multi-academy trust, we value the power of working together. By sharing best practices, resources, and expertise, we enhance the educational experience for all our pupils and continually improve our provision and within the wider community of education.

These values underpin our approach to education and are reflected in the daily life of our schools. At Ascent, we are proud to be a family of schools where every child is given the opportunity to flourish and succeed.

To achieve our visions and values our mission at Ascent Multi-Academy Trust will be to provide exceptional, inclusive education that empowers children and young people with additional needs to flourish, academically, socially, and emotionally.

We are therefore committed to:

• Delivering personalised learning that recognises and responds to each pupil’s strengths and needs.
• Creating safe, nurturing environments where every child feels a strong sense of belonging.
• Building ambition, independence, and resilience in every learner through a well planned curriculum and personal development program.
• Work in close partnership with families, staff, and external professionals to ensure the best outcomes.
• Championing innovation, reflection, and continuous improvement across all aspects of our work.

Through unwavering dedication and specialist expertise, we aim to raise aspirations, remove barriers, and support every pupil to lead a confident, purposeful life.
