Vision for the Trust Schools
• An underlying entitlement that all children should be able to attend a
  ‘good’ or better school, with school improvement as its principal focus.
                                 No one school the same, but all with the dual aims of improving
                                 academic outcomes and supporting the development of
                                 personal and social qualities.

                                 A curriculum in our schools that challenges children and one that
                                 emphasises extra-curricular involvement to broaden horizons.

                                 Learning that is of the highest quality, stimulating and prepares
                                 children for life in modern Britain and builds resilience.

                                 Where the Christian vision is important to all our schools

                                 Where strong and structured collaboration is the driving force
                                 behind all that we do and keeps us all safe and secure .            3

What OFSTED says:
• ‘The Headteacher, trust and senior leaders have transformed the school. It now provides a good quality of education and
  pupils are safe.’ – St Dunstan's OFSTED July 2018
• ‘Parents and carers who responded to the online survey and discussions are happy with the school. They typically
  comment, ‘the academy trust has made many improvements,’ and, ‘staff are dedicated, hardworking and incredibly
  supportive’ – Dundry OFSTED January 2019
• 'The trust has provided high-quality support for teaching staff to improve their practice. They have added leadership
  capacity and supported school leaders to improve the quality of education. Together, these have been principle factors in
  transforming the school.’ – St Dunstan's OFSTED July 2018
• ‘The support provided by the multi-academy trust, The Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership, has been crucial to the
  rapid improvement at Trinity. Initially, this involved the recruitment of staff and governors. Subsequently, the trust has
  supplied a wealth of training and coaching opportunities to develop staff and governors.’ – Trinity OFSTED May 2018
• ‘The Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership Trust is highly effective at supporting leaders at every level to bring about
  improvements. The impact is evident in rising standards and rapidly improving teaching.’ – Clutton OFSTED November
  2018
• ‘Leaders in school and from the multi-academy trust, governors and trustees are highly ambitious for the school, each pupil
  and the community. They have not shied away from making tough decisions to ensure that pupils benefit from a good
  quality of education.’ – St Dunstan’s OFSTED July 2018
• ‘The school’s local governing board know their school well. There are clear lines of accountability between them and the
  directors of the multi-academy trust. Governors and trust officials provide effective challenge to school leaders about the
  standards pupils reach. Joining the trust has successfully enabled leaders and governors to widen the provision they offer
  to pupils’ – Longvernal OFSTED May 2019                                                                             12

MAT school improvement strategy:
(Please see attached document)

Essentially this improvement strategy is based on the following:

1) Thorough and rapid assessment of school need.
2) A core programme of support for all schools.
3) A further programme of support which can draw on the school or
   Trust-wide resources depending on need.
4) Thorough monitoring of impact during the improvement process.
5) Evaluation of the improvement work undertaken based on pupil
   outcomes/standards.
