Vision & Values
Amadeus is derived from the Latin words ama – amare (to love) – and deus (God). This means 'Love of God'.
‘Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the Love of God’
Romans 8:39
Everything that we do at Amadeus Primary Academies Trust is underpinned by ensuring that our pupils live in and know the ‘Love of God’, witnessing this through the enacting of our values:
AMBITION
Ensuring that our pupils regardless of starting points are fully supported to achieve their full potential, through a bespoke, localised curriculum, built around the key skills and knowledge they need in life.
Working hand in hand with our families to ensure that we support this together collaboratively, whilst ensuring that this is reflected by our ambition to develop our staff team, retaining our staff and recognising their talents too. Quality assuring this in partnership with local governors and trustees to ensure the highest standards in everything we do.
PERSISTENCE
Holding high expectations, backed by loving support for our pupils, supporting them to become self-challenging, resilient and independent so they can flourish. Working more closely where children and families need more support to remove barriers to success.
Holding ourselves to the highest standards, setting an example, modelled through the whole team’s behaviour, values and relationships and upheld by governors, to ensure the wellbeing of the whole community.
ADAPTABILITY
Ensuring all of our schools have a bespoke curriculum, designed and adapted to meet the needs of all of our pupils, underpinned by our values and in tandem with our families and the wider community, to celebrate our differences.
Working collaboratively across the Trust in order to develop one another, share good practice, improving our pupils’ life chances and to develop future leaders, supported by Leaders and Governors at a Local level committed to every child.
THOUGHTFULNESS
Developing the whole child, built on an understanding of both the individual and the community, ensuring our pupil and staff wellbeing is central to all we do. Ensuring systems have flexibility built in, in order to enable adaptation at Academy and Trust level, enabling us to meet the needs of our communities.
Constantly reflecting on our practice, drawing from the latest research and listening to all stakeholders in order to adapt, assessing all levels of our approach reflectively to ensure every part of our family is the best that they can be.

Romans 8:39
Everything that we do at Amadeus Primary Academies Trust is underpinned by ensuring that our pupils live in and know the ‘Love of God’, witnessing this through the enacting of our values:
"Our Schools will run on ethical values and principles which will be explicitly Christian in our Church Schools and will be a force for good in their communities.
Our schools exist to serve all our children and young people, to nurture them to become everything that they can be and are meant to be. Our vision is that all our young people become responsible, caring and compassionate citizens, neighbours, friends, and parents; who live their lives in love, faith and hope; who are generous of spirit, respectful of others and committed to justice and equality; who are courageous and ready to stand up for what is right.
Our schools will provide a broad and rich curriculum that stimulates curiosity, enquiry and independent thinking: excites and inspires all our pupils and students to learn and progress, and enables them to grow in resilience and self-efficacy.
Our schools will develop, support and challenge our staff to become everything they can be and are meant to be and to become positive role models who know that they are valued for the quality of their contribution.
Our schools will work collaboratively, build excellence, aspiration, and improvement for all of our children and young people."
All those with governance and management responsibilities must recognise their responsibility towards the common good, not just of the Academies for whom the Trust is responsible, but of all of the families and the communities in the areas served by the Academies.
The Academies will work collaboratively with each other, sharing resources, knowledge, and best practice, to fulfil the Trust’s mission, vision and values
