Join Our Trust

Is your school considering joining a trust?   

  • Are you collaborative in approach, keen to share your best practise and also to learn from others?   
  • Do you want the best education for every learner, and are you committed to every child flourishing in their education and beyond?   
  • Are you a south or central Shropshire school, or in a neighbouring area?   
  • Are you a community / non-church school, or a Hereford Diocese CE school? 

If so, we would love to hear from you.   

How we can help the process: 

  • Are you unsure about how the process works?  

As a medium sized trust we can take on much of the administrative burden of the academisation process ourselves to support you.   

  • Is the cost of academizing worrying you, or preventing you from taking this step?   

As an established trust we are able to help with this. We believe that the expense of academisation should not be a barrier to you taking this step.   

Interested in joining us and want to know more?   

  • Are you unsure about what being in a MAT means? Or unsure about how our MAT works, and whether it would suit you?   

There are three approaches you can take:   

  1. Why not ask us to visit you as a first easy step.  We can do this in a way to suit you: either.  It could be in an informal way, meeting with leaders and governors for a conversation; or more formally with a presentation, to meet your preferences.  
  2. If you prefer you could visit us and meet with our heads.  We can set up a school visit for you to talk with some of our leaders, to see their school and to find out from them what it means to be in our trust.   
  3. We also offer a ‘try-before-you-buy’ scheme for interested schools.  This is an entirely free service, with no obligation.  It allows schools to fully particulate and experience our trust and how it works for a set time, before deciding whether or not to academize.
