Excellence in Educational Partnerships

At Great Schools Trust, our success is not measured by what we keep — but by what we share.

Civic leadership is woven into our DNA. From our origins, we have championed generosity, partnership and collective responsibility. As a values-led MAT, we are proud to be trusted by the Department for Education, national networks and local communities to play our part in raising standards beyond our own schools.

Through the Federation of Great Schools, we offer tailored partnership routes that provide schools outside Great Schools Trust with access to our expertise without compromising their identity. From light-touch support to full entrustment, we walk alongside school leaders and governors to transform outcomes and build capacity.

The Great Schools Trust MAT Dividend offers every member school a comprehensive wraparound service through our Faculty for Education — reducing operational burdens and ensuring school leaders can focus on teaching and learning.

As a Behaviour Hub Lead MAT, AI trailblazer and home to nationally recognised leadership development, our commitment to system generosity shapes not only our own future, but that of schools and pupils nationwide.

We believe in building great schools — and in helping others do the same.
