Our Vision and Aims

Our 'Together' Vision

In ancient Greece, the word ‘Agora’ was used to describe a public open space used for assemblies and markets; Agora, a place where people could be together. As such, working together and learning together are fundamental to achieving our vision.

Together for Children

At the Agora Learning Partnership, we believe in the power of collaboration to improve the life chances of children and young people, whilst enabling them to flourish and achieve the very best outcomes in all aspects of school life and beyond. This belief underpins the vision for our organisation.

Together for Staff

For such collaboration to be a success, our staff will have a variety of skills, knowledge and expertise; supported through the connection and development of our staff groups, Partnership-wide. We strive to be the employer of choice, so that we can recruit, develop and retain talented individuals who are suited to the schools and the children they serve.

Together for Schools

Furthermore, we aspire for carefully planned collaboration, with the Partnership and beyond, to be the driving force for school improvement and strive for a self-improving, self-sustaining system. We believe this, alongside our ‘local decisions for local children’ approach, will support ongoing improvement in schools and will result in the children and young people we serve being offered a first class, enriched education that is fully inclusive; we will meet the needs of every child, preparing them for future life.

Together for Community

We understand that each of the Partnership schools has a unique identity. We will continue to work hard to engage with each school community to ensure the needs of each school community are met. Also, throughout our whole Partnership, we will work to provide a welcoming, safe and respectful environment; an environment where diversity is embraced and celebrated and where there is equity of opportunity for all.
