Join Our Trust
As a Trust we believe that our role is to create the conditions in which our leaders and educators thrive, to deliver an excellent educational experience to our pupils. True collaboration underpins the work we do with our schools, enabling leaders the agency to shape a culture for our staff and students to grow.
We encourage any school that is interested in exploring the possibility of joining Unity Multi Academy Trust to contact us at Tracy.Pearce@unitymat.co.uk. Our Chief Executive, Tracy Pearce, will be happy to meet with you and your Local Governing Body to explore exactly what Unity MAT can offer to your school.
Why Unity MAT?
As a family of schools, we are working collaboratively to celebrate and nurture both the similarities and distinctiveness of each schools' individual ethos and values. Our collective commitment is that the pupils and their learning is at the heart of all we do. Our Core Support team takes care of business and compliance matters to ensure that leaders and child facing staff have the time, energy and resources, to deliver a high quality educational experience to the families we serve.
With our experience of leading and supporting 3 all-through broad spectrum special schools (EYFS-Post-16) we have a plethora of highly qualified and skilled staff, resources and curriculum adaptations, and connections with many external agencies and professionals. We are well structured and equipped to support a broad range of schools.
