Our Mission, Vision, Values and Strategic Aims

The Trust has a clear mission at its core, ensuring that all pupils are enabled to flourish, rooted in God’s Love – academically, socially, spiritually, physically and mentally.

We have a clear vision about creating successful schools for the benefit of their communities. We expect any academy in the Trust to continuously improve.  Those graded by OFSTED as RI/Serious Weaknesses/Special Measures to make rapid progress and be able to secure an OFSTED grading of at least “Good” within 3 years post conversion.  All academies provide rich and diverse curriculums which evolve to meet the needs of their children and local communities, as well as delivering educational excellence to enable them to flourish in later life.

The way we work and deliver against our mission is critical to our Trust.  We have shared, agreed values of:

Hope; Nurture; Equality; Respect; Collaboration

The Trust’s vision is underpinned by a Christian values framework which is adopted by all Academies.  It provides clear expectations for all DSAMAT employees on how the Trust wishes its values to impact on all areas of academy life.  This draws on, and is informed by, the National Church of England Vision for Education and the Diocesan Board of Education Vision.

Why the Trust exists

The Trust was created to enable schools to become greater.  We have a shared vision and a strong sense of purpose. 

Our Trust has three strategic aims:

  1. To deliver an excellent education for children and young people, that will enable them to flourish throughout their lives
  2. To be an employer of choice, ensuring that staff and volunteers flourish in our care and are enabled to be the best that they can be
  3. To act as responsible stewards, securing strong and sustainable futures for our schools and communities
