To do this we expect excellence from everyone; Excellence in engagement Excellence in communication and Excellence in self This is the IET mind-set. Each academy has its own mind-set which underpins all that they do and feeds back in to this expectation of excellence. Our students are at the heart of everything we do and we aim to ensure every single one of them has the support and guidance they need in order to reach their full potential. We believe that every individual matters – learners, staff, parents and governors. The Trust places equal emphasis on enjoying learning inside and outside of the classroom.
