KCSP Culture
Knowledge-rich, skills led learning for all
Christ at our Heart
Serving everyone in our community
Partnership of love, ambition, joy and peace
Our Partnership is guided by the Gospel and committed to working with the whole community in the spirit of love and respect that Jesus both teaches and exemplifies. We strive to treat everyone with kindness, thoughtfulness, and acceptance — values that are reflected in our daily interactions and relationships.
Our culture reflects our deep commitment to the wellbeing, growth, and inclusion of everyone across our Trust. We believe that great education begins with great people—and that means creating an environment where staff feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
We place a strong emphasis on mental health and wellbeing, recognising that a healthy workforce is essential to delivering the best outcomes for children. We also understand the importance of family support, and strive to build a culture that respects work-life balance and supports staff through life’s challenges.
Equality, diversity, and inclusion are at the heart of our strategy. We are dedicated to fostering a workplace where everyone feels respected, represented, and able to succeed—regardless of background or identity.
Together, we’re building a Trust where people flourish, communities grow, and children thrive.
Equality and Diversity
The Kent Catholic Schools’ Partnership (“the Trust”) is committed to supporting each person to live in the freedom God desires for us. We strive to foster a vision of what it means to flourish as a human being, living in relationship with a loving God, growing closer to him throughout life’s journey. We are immensely proud of all the young people in our schools for all they achieve and of our school leaders, staff, and governors. Together we share the responsibility for forming our young people so that they can not only live and work in the world, but also bring Christ’s compassion, forgiveness, healing, and love to our society. Our belief as a catholic community of schools is that following Christ requires us to love and respect every single human being as a fellow child of God irrespective of their individual personal characteristics.
The Trust is strongly committed to equality, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of the Trust’s work. As a Catholic Multi-Academy Trust, we value the different contributions and experiences of all who make up our community. While the Equality Act 2010 focuses on preventing discrimination and ensuring equal treatment; to achieve this requires equitable treatment - recognising and valuing the unique needs, backgrounds and circumstances of every individual. The Trust equality objectives, therefore, seek to recognise and address the diverse needs and circumstances of each individual by providing an environment where everyone has equal opportunity to reach their potential and fully experience a rich, fulfilling, and happy school life.
The Trust aims to be an employer of choice, known for recruiting and developing school leaders, teachers and support staff that reflects the diversity of the local population. The Trust also seeks to equip our children and young people with the knowledge and skills they need to ensure that they fulfil their potential, whatever their background or need.
Over the past three years, our Trust has been working towards a number of Trust Equality Objectives. The review document linked to below outlines the achievements, impact, and key developments in relation to our strategic EDI objectives. Additionally, it sets the direction for future progress with renewed objectives.

Mental Health & Wellbeing Support & Resources
Trust Staff Wellbeing Guide
The KCSP Staff Wellbeing Guide includes a detailed narrative about our wellbeing survey results, provides information on how we can help and support ourselves, and also sets out the commitment that KCSP has made to support the wellbeing of every person across the Trust.
Mental Health and Wellbeing Support
Many respondents to the recent KCSP Wellbeing Survey said that a central place that contains information on where to access help and support would be really helpful. We have responded to this as part of our commitment to building an open and supportive culture in which all of our pupils, young people and staff feel valued, able to talk about their health and wellbeing, and know where and how to access support if they need it.
The Trust has a dedicated Area School Improvement Partner (ASIP) that leads on Wellbeing, they support and promote Wellbeing systems across all of our schools, and are leading the Trust forward as it develops its Wellbeing strategy. The Wellbeing Survey and discussions with colleagues and pupils from across all of our schools has really helped to inform our strategy. We recognise the need to ensure that our wellbeing strategies and interventions are a high priority that enable good working patterns; resilience and self-management strategies. We want to work with Mental Health and Wellbeing Leads in schools to ensure a consistency of approach in this respect.
