As a College we have been considering joining a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) nearly 2 years. It is our view that we will best be able to serve the Exmouth community through being part of a ‘group’ of schools; the vast majority of secondary schools are now part of a ‘MAT’.

After a period of research and investigation, our Governing Board took a decision to request to join the Ted Wragg Trust.

As well as schools in Exeter, the Ted Wragg Trust has recently incorporated a number of schools in South East Devon. It is led by CEO Moira Marder, who has a very strong and values-based vision for education that we feel chimes strongly with our own principles and our recently relaunched vision.

The Trust has a strong track record of supporting schools to improve, as evidenced through exam results and OFSTED inspection reports, but, perhaps more compellingly, the Trust has a broad view of education and a real commitment to tackling the wider challenges that we face in education and that especially affect the most disadvantaged. It is their view, shared by our Governing Board, that this can be more effectively achieved through really strong local collaboration, as provided by the Ted Wragg Trust.
