Values
Purpose-led, values-driven
EEG's values guide how it makes decisions, from the classroom to the boardroom. For a CFO, they shape how resources are allocated, which investments come first and how success is measured.
Vision
Transforming lives through the power of exceptional education that ignites potential and drives prosperity for all.
At the heart of this vision is personal progress. Whoever you are, wherever you've come from and wherever you want to go, there is a place for you at Eastern Education Group.
Mission
EEG provides outstanding vocational and academic education across the region, with progression at its core. It helps students move on to the next stage of their lives through three priorities.
Qualifications
Every learner gains the qualifications, knowledge and transferable skills they need for further study or employment.
Connections
Close relationships with businesses give students real-world experience and contacts, and give employers their future talent. Some of these partnerships go back more than sixty years.
Personal development
Students build the confidence, resilience and social skills to make the most of the opportunities ahead.
Wraparound support underpins all of this, helping learners with the practical and personal challenges that can get in the way, so that nobody is held back by circumstances beyond their control.
Values
Raising aspirations
Every person deserves the chance to realise their full potential, and EEG gives learners the encouragement, support and opportunities to become the best version of themselves.
Enabling progression
A joined-up approach across the region lets students move smoothly through the Group, while strong links with employers lead to meaningful careers.
Ensuring inclusivity
EEG champions diversity across its students, staff and communities, challenges discrimination wherever it appears and stands for equal access to education and careers.
Excellence in support
Support services adapt constantly to meet the needs of every learner, caring for the whole person as well as their studies.
Innovation and collaboration
EEG learns from the best across the sector, works closely with employers and shares what it knows, encouraging curiosity, healthy challenge and openness to change.
Encouraging prosperity
By shaping its provision around the skills that local communities and employers need, EEG helps build a strong regional economy, now and for the future.
Character strengths
Eight character strengths guide students and staff alike. They describe a culture in which people aim high, learn from setbacks, own their decisions and treat one another fairly, and the Group looks for them in its leaders as much as it nurtures them in its learners.
- Ambition. Set short and long-term goals and find the motivation to achieve them. Explore your options and build the skills and knowledge for your chosen path.
- Confidence. Keep a positive outlook, explore your potential and develop your passions, learning from successes and setbacks alike.
- Curiosity. Explore new ideas, ask questions and embrace change. Seek to understand people from different backgrounds, cultures and viewpoints.
- Optimism. See setbacks as temporary and build positive networks and relationships.
- Ownership. Take responsibility for your actions, decisions and behaviours, and understand that your choices have consequences.
- Resilience. Develop ways of coping with pressure, and accept that failure is part of life and learning how to handle it is part of growing.
- Respect. Build healthy relationships with peers, teachers, family and colleagues. Value diversity and treat everyone fairly, thinking about the impact of your actions on others.
- Self-control. Prioritise well, manage your time and resist distractions, building habits that support your physical and mental wellbeing.
