Equality & Diversity
The Heart of Yorkshire Education Group is committed to achieving equality for all students, staff, and other College users, and to ensure that all students, whatever their background, have the opportunity to benefit from excellent and inspirational educational opportunities.
This is reflected in the Group’s vision and mission statement, and in the Group’s values:
Our Vision
Quite simply, our vision outlines what we are aiming for in the future, in terms of our long-term goals:
- To be an outstanding, first-choice education group, passionately serving all of our communities.
Our Mission
Our mission describes why we are here, our purpose and what we do, which is:
- Our staff positively transform our students’ lives and the communities we serve by putting them at the heart of everything we do.
Our Values
Our values act as the moral compass for our organisation. They encapsulate the way we do things, how we behave and how we make our decisions. Working with an external, expert organisation, we have consulted extensively with our staff to shape our new values, and we are proud to stand behind them.
Collaboration
We take individual and collective accountability and work together to seize opportunities to continuously improve.
Ambition
We aspire for excellence, continually growing and looking for opportunities to innovate and develop.
Inclusion
We create a safe and sustainable environment where all can thrive, enabling creativity and individuality.
Respect
We clearly communicate with transparency and integrity and show kindness and passion for the things we do.
We are committed to going above and beyond meeting our legal obligations and achieving our targets. We strive for a truly inclusive culture where everyone can thrive to reach their true potential. This means treating people with dignity and respect and recognising the value of individuals. We have an on-going commitment to ensuring that our services meet the varied and individual needs of staff and students.
