Why are we exploring our future as a school trust? 

We want to ensure the best opportunities, sustainability, and support for our pupils, staff, and community.

What are the options being considered?

• Remaining as a Single Academy Trust (SAT)
• Forming a new Multi-Academy Trust (MAT)
• Joining an existing MAT

What is a MAT?
A MAT is a group of schools/academies working together under one trust, sharing resources and expertise.

Who is involved in this process?
A working group made up of Trust Board members and senior leaders, with regular input from staff, parents, and stakeholders.

How long will the process take?
We expect the investigation to run throughout the 2025/26 academic year. No decisions will be made without thorough research and consultation.

How can I ask questions or give feedback?
You can submit questions via the ‘Submit Question’ functionality below. We will update this page regularly with answers.

How will staff, parents and stakeholders be kept informed?
Regular updates will be provided via newsletters, this FAQ page, and consultation events.
