Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust

Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust (FMAT) was established in 2014 by a dedicated group of individuals committed to “enriching the lives and transforming the futures” of students. The Trust currently has four academies, serving over 4000 students aged 4-18 and employs approximately 450 members of staff.  

Mindful that approximately 50% of our students are from disadvantaged backgrounds, our vision is that every child within the Trust, regardless of their background, will attend an Academy that offers high-quality education and pastoral care. Inclusivity is at the heart of our organisation, and we seek only dedicated leaders, teachers and support staff who are relentless in their ambition for a holistic approach to continual school improvement, because we know this is key to transforming the futures of our students.

Collaboration is also a key factor to our success. Our academies have the freedom to make decisions that work best for their communities, whilst benefiting from the professional support of centralised business, training and educational experts, which ultimately benefits our students, staff, and the wider community.  Together, we create an environment where every child has the opportunity to achieve their ambitions.
