STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

Empowering Our Vision, Driving Success

At St Martin’s Multi-Academy Trust, our strategic priorities are designed to create a thriving educational environment where every member of our community can excel. Guided by our Vision 2030 framework, we emphasise relational trust, effective communication, and the “genius of the and.” We believe in balancing advanced technology with a personal touch, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and leveraging collaborative knowledge to drive innovation.

Our focus includes managing workload to enhance job satisfaction, investing in professional development to maintain high teaching standards, and promoting operational efficiency for sustainable growth. These strategic priorities ensure we remain true to our mission of providing high-quality education, supporting staff and pupils in achieving their full potential, and building strong community partnerships.

VISION & VALUES

We are committed to nurturing a culture that embodies trust, respect, and compassion. Our vision is to create a place where every individual—children, staff, and the wider community—can thrive. By embedding these values into every aspect of our operations, we ensure clarity, effectiveness, and a unified approach to achieving our mission.

Our vision must encapsulate our ‘why’. It has to inspire staff and our communities. It must persuade people to stay for and have a deep understanding of our cause. Our people need to be willing to be service-orientated, resilient, and idealistic. Our cause has to form the foundation of everything we do.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT

We strive for excellence in teaching and learning, continuously raising standards and improving outcomes for all pupils. Through evidence-based practices and collaborative networks, we support school leaders and staff, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement tailored to the unique needs of each school.

We have an integrated school improvement model that ensures high-quality teaching and learning. The model encompasses rigorous assessment, targeted interventions, and collaborative planning. By supporting school leaders, teachers, and staff through evidence-based practices and collaborative networks, we aim to foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.

 

PEOPLE AND WELLBEING

Our people are our greatest asset. We prioritise professional development, offering tailored training programs and career progression opportunities. By managing workload and promoting staff wellbeing, we aim to create a supportive and sustainable working environment where all staff can thrive.

We believe in enabling our people to thrive through continuous self-driven improvement, robust support systems, and comprehensive professional development. Through initiatives such as our performance management system, staff wellbeing programs, and tailored CPD offerings, we endeavour to empower our staff to achieve their full potential.

GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Effective governance is crucial for the sustainability and success of our Trust. We strengthen our governance structures to ensure clarity of roles, robust risk management, and accountability at all levels. By maintaining high standards of transparency and oversight, we support our strategic objectives and uphold our commitment to excellence.

Our governance structure includes the Board of Directors, the Finance Committee, the Audit Committee, and the Local Academy Committees (LACs). Each body has distinct roles and responsibilities to ensure the effective operation and oversight of the Trust. This comprehensive structure ensures we maintain high standards of transparency, accountability, and strategic oversight.
