Strategic Priorities
The Sir John Brunner Foundation is ready to support even more students to make exceptional progress and provide even more professionals with the opportunity to work in a forward-thinking trust.
Our strategic priorities place children at the heart of everything we do, ensuring their lives are enhanced and advanced through the highest standards of education.
We recognise the vital role schools play in their communities, so we are strengthening partnerships with parents, carers, and local organisations. By building these relationships, we support children’s development, broaden community links, and create meaningful leadership opportunities for our children.
We are committed to thoughtful, well‑managed growth—continuously improving our academies, learning from collaboration, and building strong partnerships with other schools and trusts.
We also prioritise long‑term sustainability, using our resources responsibly and maintaining robust systems that ensure quality and assurance to ongoing improvement across all areas.
Our four strategic priorities are:
Continual support to ensure children enhance and advance their lives during their time in their academy, focussing on, amongst an array of other things:
- Inclusive Teaching and Learning
- Successful School Transitions, within and beyond

- Parents / Carers
