Our Values
Organisational values are guiding principles that help to shape culture, improve employee engagement, support decisions and actions, and drive success, because they aid the communication of what is most important to the organisation.
For the Harpur Trust, our values have a role to play in our relationships with staff, pupils, parents, volunteers and the wider community.
They have been created in collaboration with staff from across The Trust when thinking about how we operate ‘at our best’.

RESPECT – We demonstrate professionalism and regard for colleagues, pupils and beneficiaries, irrespective of position, background, or opinion
INTEGRITY – We act with honesty, fairness, reliability, accountability and strong ethical principles to build trust.
INCLUSION – We help create an environment where all individuals feel welcome and valued, regardless of their differences, so everyone is empowered to contribute.
KINDNESS – We consistently demonstrate empathy and consideration towards colleagues, pupils and beneficiaries.
AMBITION – We set high standards of performance so that we can realise our potential.
