St Martin’s Multi Academy Trust

About us

ABOUT US

Founded in March 2015, St Martin’s Multi Academy Trust began with St Martin’s CE Primary and Field View Primary Schools transitioning from a ‘hard’ federation. Building on our initial success, we welcomed Grove Primary School in April 2016. We were proud to welcome Walsall Wood, an excellent school, into our Trust in February 2024. Their decision to join us was based on our shared values and our commitment to providing a high-quality education. Today, our Trust is poised for further growth, supporting the Government’s vision for multi-academy trusts across the nation. As a ‘mixed’ MAT, we welcome schools from Local Authority and C of E Voluntary Controlled backgrounds.

Vision, Values, and Ethos: Our Trust is dedicated to equipping all our children with the skills needed to navigate future challenges. While each school maintains its unique identity and vision, they are united by our shared values of respect, trust, and compassion, which underpin our mission to foster a supportive and inclusive educational environment.

Our Approach: We achieve this by providing pupils with opportunities to reach their full potential within a nurturing and safe environment. Our collaborative approach includes professional development networks and hubs that enhance both staff growth and pupil outcomes.

There are many benefits of being part of St. Martins Multi Academy Trust.  All schools share the same vision and ethos, helping us to drive our schools forward.  Having a supportive team allows opportunities to ask advice and also to share best practice.  When planning new schemes, I feel that the MAT has a wider wealth of knowledge to draw upon, providing a high quality education for all pupils.

We want our pupils to leave St Martin’s Primary with high academic and personal achievements, with a respect for each other and a set of values that will ensure they make a contribution to our Christian community and society.  With that in mind, being part of St Martin’s Multi Academy Trust really supports us to achieve our ambition.  Working together, we can provide high quality CPD for our staff, share ideas, expertise, training and resources that can then be tailored into a bespoke curriculum to enable our pupils to achieve their full potential.

Being part of St Martin’s MAT has provided me with expert support and guidance from  day one.  Its great knowing I can pick up the phone at any time and be able to talk through any concerns or queries  I have on any subject, from finance to safeguarding, to the quality of education.  This is truly an innovative partnership which is fun and exciting.  Together, I am confident that we will achieve great things.

Joining the trust has been an incredible step for our school, as the support we received during onboarding made the transition seamless. The opportunity to collaborate with like-minded leaders and staff has not only strengthened our vision but also enriched the learning experience for both students and educators. Together, we are building a stronger future for our pupils at Walsall Wood.
