We recognise that joining a Multi Academy Trust can be a big step for any school and we welcome the opportunity to discuss the benefits of joining GMAT without any obligation. We ensure that all discussions are confidential and our approach is to consider what is possible and what will be the best outcome for the pupils.
 

Our Trust Growth Strategy is a coherent vision to act in deep partnership. The Trust is formed with a Trust Board, Local Governing Boards, an Executive Principal, Chief Operating Officer, a Central service Team, with our Headteachers being a key part of the Executive Leadership Team.

​

It is important to us that through a powerful partnership, schools joining our Trust maintain their identity and their sense of school community. Schools within our Trust develop and implement their own curricula and are best placed to understand the different needs of their pupils. We therefore encourage a bespoke personalised curriculum that meets the needs of all learners and there can be as much or as little support from the Trust as each school and governing board deems necessary.

​

We are determined to improve the educational outcomes for all the children and young people and provide real impacting support for our wider community. This can be achieved more effectively with great leaders and schools joining our Trust, giving a wider reach to ensure children have a better chance to succeed in life. Together we are stronger and can support each other to thrive, collaborating and sharing best practice and providing reassurance and support.

​

Joining GMAT will create additional opportunities for support staff, teachers and leaders to access joint evidence informed professional development, network, moderate and collaborate to further improve teaching and learning outcomes for all children. There is a wealth of expertise already within GMAT including a National Research school, an Initial Teacher Training Programme, specialist leaders in literacy, maths mastery specialists, special educational needs co-ordinators, moderators for all key stages, a Lead OFSTED inspector and a dedicated central service team to support with Finance, HR, Health and Safety as well as staff with a wealth of other skills and experiences. GMAT wants to ensure that school leaders can invest as much time and dedication to serving their children, families and their community and we aim to reduce the white noise of anything that can take time away from this.

​

We will provide oversight and expertise guiding any incoming Schools in to our Trust with project plans, communication strategies and due diligence support.
