Our aim is to develop a strong partnership between the academies, pupils, and the wider community in order to secure an outstanding learning experience for everyone.  We have high expectations and strive to create independent learners fit for the demands of the 21st Century.

Our vision is to achieve better outcomes for all of our children and young people by providing an outstanding set of inclusive and aspirational learning experiences.  We will realise this by:
•	Raising standards of pupil progress and attainment.
•	Delivering a knowledge and skills based curriculum that is tailored to individual learning needs.
•	Promoting the spiritual, moral, social, emotional and cultural development of every learner.
•	Working together to maximise the power of mutual collaboration and support.
•	Sharing resources, staff, areas of expertise and facilities to achieve economies of scale.
•	Creating highly effective leadership at all levels and seeking to pool strategic capacity.
•	Constantly developing our ability to support the wellbeing of all staff and pupils.

Providing school buildings which are cleaned to high quality standard via a sustainable and affordable solution are crucial in supporting the learning and working environments and welfare of our pupils and staff, and to support better outcomes for all.

We're looking to work with an organisation who will collaborate with SUAT and the Academies in relation to cleaning services, to explore effective and efficient solutions together but also to learn about the different offerings that you will bring. We are looking for a professional relationship with a provider who will support us, continually grow and develop their offering, and contribute their expertise to ensure that we feel proud of our school buildings and that each Academy is supported to serve its learning community in a hygienic and healthy environment.
