Our Trust

Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust (FMAT) is an Educational Charity based in the West Midlands. 

It was established in 2014 by a group of dedicated individuals committed to making a real and positive difference to students lives.

Today, FMAT is an established organisation.  Employees from each of our academies work collaboratively and share best practice, whilst the central function provides efficiencies, support and strategic guidance, in order to meet FMAT’s mission:

“Enriching lives; transforming futures”. 

To encompass our vision:

“Every child within the Trust will attend an Academy that offers high-quality education.  They will have access to first-class pastoral care and will benefit from a wide range of enriching opportunities. This will mean that each of our Academies is the Academy of choice for parents, carers and students within their local community.”

When defining high-quality education, we aim to ensure that:

• Every child is recognised as an individual and has access to first-class pastoral care because we want them to be happy.
• Every child benefits from dedicated leaders, teachers and staff who are relentless in their ambition to improve the quality of teaching in our academies because we know excellent teaching is key to transforming the futures of our students.
• Every child benefits from a wide range of enriching opportunities because we place great emphasis on their personal development.

FMAT prides itself on placing a great emphasis on personal development.  With a curriculum aimed at providing every child with a wide range of enrichment opportunities, students are encouraged to participate in new and varied activities that go beyond the curriculum and can help to develop character, resilience, and motivation. 

Underpinning everything that we do are our values, as outlined below.
