Incredibly proud of our nomination for MAT of the Year

 

We are incredibly proud to have been shortlisted for a national honour: the Multi Academy Trust of the Year.

Despite being pipped at the post in a final shortlist of three, the nomination is a reflection of the dedication of our staff, governors, members and trustees; the ambition of our pupils, and the strength of our communities and the positive relationships we have built over time.

Supporting more than 6,000 pupils across ten schools, our Trust has been recognised for its Commitment to Excellence, innovation in education and transformative outcomes.

We are proud of the exceptional work that goes on in our schools, and we look forward to continuing that work for the benefit of our pupils and the communities we serve.

We are grateful for the commitment and dedication of all our stakeholders, day in, day out, which enables us to carry out that work.
