About our client
The MAT was created to extend opportunities to all students in its care. They are unique in the area in that they have both selective and non-selective schools in the Trust which means staff and students at the schools will have the opportunity to work in collaboration with their counterparts at the other schools. Our client believes that a one-size-fits-all approach to education restricts pupil progress and therefore they promote a personalised approach to teaching and learning in all of its schools. Students are loosely set in relation to their performance in different subjects and are also gender set where appropriate, to ensure learning approaches can be tailored to meet individual and group requirements. Active learning rather than passive learning is encouraged and the schools take steps to ensure that as far as possible any potential barriers to learning are removed.
Our client's schools encourage pupils to become resilient and resourceful and the schools deliver a programme to encourage these attributes.
