The Trust was formed in April 2017; it resulted because of a group of local Headteachers wanting to work together to create even better opportunities for the students and staff. We are currently eight schools: three special need schools; four secondaries and one primary school all local to the Farnham, Haslemere and Woking areas. As a Trust, we are very positive about the difference we are making. As individual schools it is important that we retain the local context and identity of our unique academies, however, we are 'Stronger Together' and joining our Trust means that you will also have the benefit of working with colleagues across the MAT. The benefits of working together and the support that you will receive will ensure that, in your career with WMAT, you will develop not only the Staff you lead, the students you teach but also yourself. Our ambition is clear; to make WMAT a Trust that is outstanding both for the students that learn here and also for the staff that work in the Trust. All our academies are full and oversubscribed; a glowing endorsement of our success. Thank you for your interest in this position. We are inspired by the brilliant people who work in our Trust. Why not make an application to be part of a really positive organisation?
