We will do this by excelling at what we do every day: delivering great outcomes for young people and adults of all backgrounds and abilities to make sure their life chances are improved. This will require exemplary teaching, learning, and assistance, close partnership across the area and very well-managed resources with sustainable finances.

We will base our work around our commitment to public service and all the values that come with it.

We will make sure that people from all walks of life and all abilities levels are welcome here and can thrive. We expect them all to commit to their learning, to achieve, and then progress to the future of their choice. We will supply great resources, teaching, and assistance to help them to do so.

We will act as an effective partner, working with our stakeholders across South London to help them flourish, developing their work and expanding their businesses with us alongside them. We will engage with occasions to grow, nationally, areally and in our local neighborhoods.

And we will commit to high standards of employment practice, working entirely with our colleagues to improve and develop the organization, promoting wellbeing while we strengthen the Group’s performance.
