HOME » ABOUT CORE » LATEST GOVERNANCE USEFUL LINKS ABOUT SCHOOLS WORK WITH US CORE & CO CONTACT CORE CARES We are proud that each of our schools has its own distinctive character. Our Headteachers lead their schools in the best interests of their students and their families in a local context. However, all our schools are united in their passion and commitment to deliver a CORE Education. This means: Our four CORE Values have a meaningful purpose on a day to day basis and guide school decision making. Our staff and students across the four schools regularly support each other and share experiences and opportunities. Our students and staff are, first and foremost, proud ambassadors of CORE Education Trust. A main feature of delivering a CORE Education is the support offered through a student entitlement offer called CORE Cares. CORE CARES IS A GUARANTEE TO ALL OUR STUDENTS The CORE FOUR at Key Stage Three (Years 7, 8, 9) The CORE EXTRA MILE at Key Stage Four (Years 10, 11) THE CORE FOUR AT KEY STAGE 3 Inspired by CORE Values, giving our children a Key Stage Three value added experiences to ensure they are adequately prepared for Key Stage Four and beyond: COLLABORATION: Every child will begin life in a CORE School through access to a Free Summer School before Year 7 and then through subsequent residential learning experiences with children from other CORE schools before the end of Key Stage Three.
