These pages have been created to help Headteachers, Governors, and school leaders understand who we are, how we work, and what it means to be part of Sussex Learning Trust.
Every Multi-Academy Trust is different. Each has its own culture, priorities, and way of supporting schools. For that reason, one of the most important questions for any school considering MAT membership is not simply “Which Trust should we join?” but “What kind of partnership is right for our school, staff, and community?”
We encourage prospective schools to explore the information in this section of our website, ask questions, and take the time to understand what matters most to them. There is no single model that works for every school, and finding the right fit is essential.
At Sussex Learning Trust, everything we do is driven by a commitment to improving outcomes for children and young people. Our vision and values provide a constant foundation for our work, while our approaches continue to evolve in response to the changing needs of schools and communities.
We believe that successful Trusts are built on strong relationships, shared purpose, and exceptional people. Our Leadership Team brings extensive experience across education, leadership, governance, and school improvement, and we are committed to recruiting colleagues who share our determination to continually improve and to provide the very best opportunities for every child.
Whether you are:
- exploring academy conversion
- reviewing MAT options
- seeking greater school improvement capacity
- looking for a long-term strategic partner
these pages will help you understand how Sussex Learning Trust works and whether we may be the right fit for your school.
