Oxford Diocesan Bucks Schools Trust Governors' Briefing Pack

10 At the ODBST we will encourage everyone to trust in their own capabilities and to recognise their potential. We want to challengeourselves to be the best we can be – even when this becomes hard. We will do this by leading by example, supporting and guiding one another, celebrating accomplishments, providing opportunities for all, developing confidence, resilience and perseverance in both our children and our adults. We will encourage curiosity with a mindset of continuous improvement andpersonal growth. We want our pupils to be able to say, ‘I am special because……….and I am learning to excel at….’ "There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind" Virginia Woolf
