Joining the Trust
Three key messages animate our vision, fostering a vibrant educational landscape:
- Localism: We champion the autonomy of headteachers as the primary architects of their schools' destinies. Through close engagement, we co-create systematic approaches that empower school leaders to drive meaningful change and innovation within their unique contexts.
- Positive Culture: We prioritise cultivating a nurturing environment where both staff and pupils flourish. By prioritising mental and physical well-being, our schools become enriching havens that inspire individuals to realise their aspirations, fostering a culture where hopes and dreams are nurtured and encouraged.
- Collaboration: We recognise the transformative power of collaboration in bolstering schools and communities. By leveraging the collective talents and resources of our staff, our schools cultivate resilience and confront challenges head-on, resulting in a shared pursuit of excellence where every member of our community thrives.
EEEa is dedicated to localism and positive collaboration, fostering an environment where schools thrive on innovation and attract top-tier talent. By empowering all stakeholders, we guarantee that every child, every year, has access to a brighter future. Our schools have the flexibility to tailor their curricula, while EEEa provides robust school improvement strategies to support and enhance their work, ensuring excellence across all facets of education.
Why EEEa?
What sets us apart from other Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) is our commitment to a distributed model. We foster a culture of innovation and knowledge-sharing, enabling each school to thrive uniquely within its community. Embracing the diversity of our schools strengthens our collective efforts and reinforces our ability to retain talented staff members, who are empowered to contribute their expertise and experiences to our shared success.
