The Kidsgrove Secondary Schools motto, ‘If you do enough small things right, big things can happen believe’, is encompassed within everything we do; raising student aspirations, developing knowledge, skills and providing a happy and safe environment for all.
We believe that every child should have the opportunity to be successful whatever their starting point. We pledge an unswerving commitment to improve, accelerate and enable ambitious life goals amongst all young people in our academies.
Our Trust’s collaborative approach enables us to draw on the expertise within our family of schools; having students at the heart of everything we do; and maximising learning opportunities for all.
The KSS values are aligned with The Shaw Education Trust vision and values.
Our Values
- Opportunity: means ensuring every student and staff member, has access to high-quality education and development, support, and pathways that enable them to grow, succeed, and reach their full potential.
- Integrity: means acting with honesty, transparency, and consistency in all decisions and relationships, so that students, staff, families, and communities can place their trust in the way our organisation is led and governed at all levels.
- Community: means working collaboratively across schools, families, and local partners to create a supportive, inclusive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging, is valued, connected, and responsible for each other’s success, and shares a feeling pride in what we are achieving together.
- Equity: means recognising and responding to different needs so that resources, support, and opportunities are allocated fairly, ensuring every pupil and member of staff can thrive because they are cared about as an individual through our philosophy of 'one size fits one'. This is not everyone getting the same, it is much deeper, it is everyone getting what they need to have the same opportunities and chance at success.
