About Alpha Plus Group
The primary purpose of the Alpha Plus Group is to develop excellence in education through well-directed investment and professional management. The Gold Standard is the Group’s vision of educational excellence. It comprises two dimensions:
- Cultural - fostering high aspirations and expectations of staff and pupils, always recognising that excellence is a never-ending pursuit
- Operational - robust governance through which schools, colleges and central services are simultaneously supported and challenged in their pursuit of excellence
The group recognises that great schools have their own identity and ethos and seeks to preserve such independent values. Whilst the interpretation and execution of ‘excellence’ may therefore vary across the Group, many elements, such as outstanding leadership, and passion and pride in teaching and learning, are common to all.
