Why choose Our Community Multi Academy Trust

In our constantly developing educational landscape, there are a growing number of Multi Academy Trusts that have formed to meet the needs of their schools and their local communities. So, what makes Our Community Multi Academy Trust unique and why should you choose to join us?

As a mixed church MAT, we have a mixture of voluntary aided, voluntary controlled and previously maintained local authority schools; small rural schools, a large infant and junior school, two nurseries, and special resource provision for speech and language. Originally coming together as a group of four schools and going through the academisation conversion process and then taking on an additional six schools has allowed us to feel confident in conversion and merging. Within our Articles of Association, we have a statutory duty to uphold and promote the Christian distinctiveness of our church schools and to ensure the majority of members are appointed by the diocese.  We are fully committed to serving communities by providing the highest quality of education and care for every child in our Trust and beyond by providing schools where children develop and thrive academically, socially, culturally, and spiritually in the safest environments possible.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE STRENGTH OF OUR TRUST LIES WITHIN THE COLLABORATIVE COMMITMENT FROM ALL OUR SCHOOLS TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AS ONE… 

We believe that the strength of our Trust lies within the collaborative commitment from all our schools to continue to improve as one. We utilise our financial resources and the expertise within our central team to support all our schools on their improvement journey, and work with our already strong schools to ensure they become truly great schools.
