The TPAT Vision:
TPAT - Inspiring futures, empowering people
TPAT exists to empower all our people to thrive through opportunity. We aim to benefit our communities by nurturing well-educated, aspirational and creative young people. We achieve this by enriching and fulfilling our employees with the investment to become masters of their craft, all working together to realise exceptional outcomes for young people.
The TPAT Mission:
At TPAT, our mission is to continue to create an aspirational, driven, and highly engaging educational environment where every pupil can succeed, with a deliberate focus on knowing each pupil individually and empowering them to excel. We provide the resources and stability schools need to work efficiently and effectively, overcoming challenges and prioritising education every day.
We believe in the power of collaboration, excellence, and experience, fostering unity and shared purpose. Our Trust offers a ‘culture of improvement’ where staff thrive in a safe, supportive network, embracing feedback and professional dialogue to drive sustainable improvement.
Our strategy focuses on sustainable development and cohesive support for school leaders, enabling them to focus on the art of exceptional education every day. TPAT schools prepare pupils for the future by providing challenging career pathways through our schools’ curriculums and connections to industries beyond our locality.
At TPAT, we are dedicated to making a difference through innovation, collaboration, and a deep commitment to our community’s success and wellbeing. Our schools are places where children and adults thrive.

School Improvement Support
We offer a comprehensive approach to supporting school leaders in their yearly cycle of review and improvement planning. We frame our system around four phases of school improvement: Stabilise, Repair, Improve, and Sustain & Excel. We use this language in all our review activity because it supports every school to take appropriate action, be it an interruption action where stability is required, or innovative action where there is an opportunity to excel in a new way. Our School Improvement Cycle is embedded in the system that supports school leaders, and shapes the focus of Local Governing Committees in their well-planned cycle of work. This system minimises workload for school leaders, and ensures all parts around the school structure are there to support without distraction. If you would like to see this model in more detail, please do get in touch via ‘contact us’.
