Our Values

West London Zone has five values that drive the way we work. They inform the shared principles which we ask all our delivery partners and the schools we work with to agree to before starting with us.

Our values are expressed in the acronym CLEAR:

Collaborative
The power of individuals and organisations working together towards a shared vision.

Local
Work is rooted in the community.

Evidence-Led
Committed to collecting relevant data and analysing what works.

Accountable
Accountable to the communities we work with and hold others accountable on behalf of these communities.

Relational
Relationships are key to achieving change.
