Quality of Education

The charitable purpose of advancing education is cemented in the Trust’s Articles of Association, and the activity to advance education for the public good is contracted through funding agreements. The best Trusts are focus on the quality of education; they have strongly theorised, coherent models of improvement. They can scale improvement by knowledge building through evidence informed professional development and creating communities of improvement. The school improvement model is collaborative.
