Joining the Trust

How do we make our vision a reality?

There are three key messages that bring our vision to life. They are:

  1. We believe in localism –this means we believe that headteachers are best placed to lead their schools. We engage with school leaders to develop systematic ways of working.
  2. We believe that a positive culture for staff and pupils enables schools to thrive. By focusing on mental and health and well-being our schools enrich our pupils and staff to help foster their hopes and dreams.
  3. We believe that collaboration is key to support schools and communities. By harnessing the talents of our staff our schools are resilient and tackle challenges together. The result is excellence for all.

EEEa is about localism and positive collaboration. This enables schools to be innovative and helps us to attract talented staff. By empowering all stakeholders we ensure that each year every child has the opportunity for a better future. Our schools can bespoke their curriculums and EEEA can work with schools to ensure that all their work is underpinned by rigorous and robust school improvement strategies.

What makes us different to other MATs?

We do not have a top-down approach –we allow innovation and share what works well, so we all benefit. All our schools are different due to the communities they serve, and these differences strengthen our work help retain our staff.
