Home > Joining the Trust > Benefits for Schools

Our Trust is a Shropshire based multi academy Trust with 4 secondary schools, 5 primary schools, (3 of whom are Church of England) schools and an all through SEMH school. We have a wealth of experience in staff across all our schools and this is shared through collaboration and networking to benefit our whole Trust community. A strong Shared Services team offers HR, Finance, Marketing, Governance, IT and School Improvement support.

Why should schools join a Trust?

Join our family of schools to collaborate with colleagues across the Trust to develop fun and engaging learning opportunities.

Schools in our Trust benefit from an experienced Shared Services team that includes IT, Marketing, Finance, HR and Governance. Added to this we have a talented Quality Assurance and School Support (QASS) team which includes Safeguarding, SEND, Attendance, Sport, Community, Curriculum, Teaching and Learning and Raising Standards Directors.

Benefits for Schools of Joining a Trust | Marches Academy Trust

Achievement through caring

As a Trust we are focusing on empowering everyone to live and breathe ‘Achievement through Caring’ and reach their true potential. For our schools this means we believe securing greater control at a local level, whilst maintaining responsibility for effectiveness overall as a Trust is a good practice model. We allow schools to lead and drive their school improvements, while having the mechanisms to give direct intervention and support to secure this.
