Trust governance

Welcome to The Mead Trust. It is an honour to be the Chair of this great Trust.

Trustees agree the priorities and strategic direction of the Trust and hold leaders to account for the Trust’s financial and educational performance. We are an inclusive, passionate and principled Trust and we see these core values demonstrated through every interaction we have with our schools, the Central Team and our local governance communities. We would like to thank all of the Academy Advisers who work as volunteers across our Trust. They provide challenge and support, on our behalf, to the leadership of our schools. 

The Trust’s core purpose is to encourage, support and develop every one of our children to reach their potential. Leaders, staff and children have worked tirelessly over the last few years to ensure that the challenges of recovering from the pandemic were met. We have continued to prioritise safeguarding and wellbeing of everyone, whilst filling children’s gaps and developing the impact of the curriculum for our children, providing inspirational learning for all. 

The Department for Education has recognised that schools working within supportive, collaborative ‘families of schools’ have coped best with the challenges of the pandemic, and we feel proud that our leaders and staff have supported each other so well by sharing resources, knowledge and being there for each other, demonstrating courage and consideration.  

Schools within our Trust are communities where expectations of excellence are set, individuals are valued, achievements are celebrated and children are happy and safe. If you would like to find out more about us, please browse our website and contact hello@themeadtrust.org to find out more.
