St Mary’s Academy Trust is a family of schools founded upon their key values, delivering educational excellence in order that each child thrives within their safe and nurturing environment.
The values of the Trust determine their approach to their community and stakeholders
Educational Excellence is delivered through a broad and challenging curriculum which feeds the children’s aspirations, ensuring that they leave with an embedded life-long thirst for learning and the tools to maximise their future potential.
Care is at the forefront of everything they do. Within SMAT they care by protecting and nurturing children, supporting parents and families, developing staff and maintaining an active role within the Community.
Collaboration is fundamental to their success as they acknowledge the ever increasing wealth of experience, best practice and skill within St. Mary’s Trust and ensure it is applied for the benefit of all. They identify ways to continually expand their links with the Community to provide new sources of skills and opportunity.
Integrity and Respect, underpinned by our Christian Values, are embodied in their ethos. Their staff, children and parents are treated considerately, fairly and consistently; always with due concern for their individual cultural, emotional and religious background.
Robust Governance systems which ensure that responsibilities are clear, allow them to challenge, evaluate and warrant that all funds and resources are applied in a manner which 0ptimises value for money. Building a strong, sustainable, self-evaluating and evolving business foundation, transparently disseminating public funds for the benefit of their children, today and the foreseeable future.
