Our Trust Principles Overview

Culture eats strategy for breakfast’ (Peter Drucker) could be described as a bit of a cliché but there is some real wisdom that sits behind it. We see in the corporate world companies come and go, but it is often those that stand the test of time that are rooted in values and principles that are understood by everyone in the organisation and then lived out on a day-to-day basis. When forming the Mosaic Partnership Trust, we wanted to put at the very centre what we call our founding principles, those of integrity, innovation and partnership and then we ground all our work, policies and approaches through the principles of equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging;.

The centrality of our culture is absolute, and we want all those that are part of our Trust to be real advocates for our Trust Principles, irrespective of their roles or responsibilities. People are important and our culture is important.

The Culture Exemplification summarises our aligned approach and the expectation that all staff live out the Trust principles in their day-to-day work. The exemplification has come about from the work undertaken with Trust Headteachers and the central team during the 2024-2025 academic year (our founding year), where we explored the meaning of the Trust Principles. Headteachers then worked at a school level with staff to capture their thoughts on what types of behaviours would be demonstrated if we truly lived out our principles on the ground, thus enabling children and adults alike to be their authentic selves.

This piece of work ultimately combines the work of everyone in a distinct document which will be refreshed on an annual basis. It includes some quotes that capture the essence of the principles from a global perspective before drilling down to how we see as a Trust, the principles lived out on the ground through the work undertaken with our employees. It concludes with an overview of Our ‘Principles in Action Day’ which takes place in the second half of the Summer Term.

Mosaic Partnership Trust Song

We are thrilled to share with you the Mosaic Partnership Trust Song, which stemmed from a shared vision to create something truly special, something that would unite our schools, celebrate our values, and give the children an unforgettable experience. The song is one of celebration and was written for us by Jake Lewis (a former teacher at Gillingstool Primary School) and composed by Ali Rice, with the theme being togetherness. The lyrics of the Mosaic Song capture the Trust Principles, what the Trust stands for and what we hope every child feels as part of our community.
A total of 12 schools across the Trust participated, with two children from each school attending Real World Studios to record the song. Real World Studios is located in the village of Box, where one of our Trust Primary Schools is located. From start to finish the studio made the experience truly special for the children. We’re so grateful for the opportunity! The children recorded the track in one day, over a span of 4 hours. They were absolutely amazing throughout the process. They practiced the song multiple times, both with and without the headsets, which helped them get used to the recording process. Despite this being their first time in the studio, the children picked it up incredibly quickly. Their confidence and natural talent shone through, and they made it look effortless. It didn’t take long at all before they were ready to record, showcasing how quickly they adapted to the environment. The entire experience was a joy to watch.
We hope you enjoy the song as much as we as a Trust do and the children did singing it.
