Join MAST

We are proud of our strong Christian foundation, shared values and our proven track record of sustained success across our schools. Through our experienced and passionate team, our academies receive practical, hands-on support to raise standards, improve outcomes and maintain the highest levels of performance within their setting.

Each of our schools is successful in its own right. Every school retains its own identity, character and heritage, holding a special place within its local community.

We recognise the importance of each individual school’s distinct context. While united by shared values and vision, every MAST school serves a unique community, and this individuality is respected and celebrated.

Benefits of Joining Medway Anglican Schools Trust

A partnership with Medway Anglican Schools Trust provides the structure, expertise and capacity to deliver educational excellence within a strong, values-driven framework. The Trust offers a foundation of professional collaboration, effective governance and leadership support, while continuing to honour each school’s individuality and Christian ethos.

Belonging to MAST increases a school’s capacity to maintain high standards and drive continuous improvement, while still tailoring its provision to the needs of its local community. As a Trust, MAST aims to be greater than the sum of its schools, providing:

  • Expertise and support from the Executive Team and central Trust leaders

  • A dedicated team to support School Improvement

  • Centrally coordinated estates support, including compliance, development planning and facilitation of capital projects where applicable

  • Leadership development opportunities at all levels

  • Clear career pathways for all staff

  • Access to a broad programme of continuous professional development for staff and governors

  • Stronger recruitment and retention through enhanced career opportunities across the Trust

Working in Partnership with Schools

Although each school retains its own identity, history and community focus, a shared commitment to excellence and high achievement for all learners — regardless of background or ability — underpins all MAST schools.

We work collaboratively, drawing on the expertise of our very best teachers and leaders to improve outcomes and opportunities for every child. By sharing best practice and professional knowledge, we raise participation, strengthen provision and narrow gaps in achievement.

As a Trust, we also share agreed standards and expectations across key areas of our work. These take the form of Trust-wide policies, procedures, guiding principles and quality assurance processes that apply to every school. This approach not only ensures consistency and high quality across MAST, but also reduces duplication and workload for school leaders and staff.
