At MAST, we are committed to ensuring that every child is known and every child is enabled.

Rooted in our values of Belong, Be Safe, Flourish, we create schools where everyone is recognised as an individual, welcomed into a community and supported to grow.

We believe that when people feel that they truly belong, they are able to feel safe; and when they feel safe, they are able to flourish.

Our work is shaped by a deeply held belief that everyone is known and called by name.

Inspired by the words of Isaiah:

“I have called you by name; you are mine.”

we seek to build a culture where no one is overlooked, and where every child and every adult is valued, supported and enabled to succeed.

Through high-quality teaching, strong relationships and a shared sense of responsibility, we work to remove barriers to learning and create environments in which everyone can thrive.

Together, we are Moving Ahead, Serving Together — building a community where every child and every adult can grow, achieve and flourish.

Our Values

Belong

We create communities where everyone feels welcomed, included and valued as part of something bigger than themselves.

Belonging means being known as an individual, having a voice and knowing that you are an important part of your school and the wider MAST family.

Be Safe

We provide environments that are calm, predictable and secure, where children and adults feel safe to learn, contribute, take appropriate risks and succeed.

Safety is both physical and emotional. We want everyone within MAST to know that they will be listened to, supported and treated with dignity.

Flourish

We enable everyone to grow, achieve and thrive through high-quality teaching, strong relationships and support that removes barriers to success.

Flourishing means more than academic achievement. We want children and adults to develop confidence, character, knowledge, resilience and a sense of purpose.

Moving Ahead, Serving Together

Our Trust motto captures how we want to work.

Moving Ahead reflects our commitment to improvement, ambition and always looking for ways to make our schools stronger.

Serving Together reflects our belief that schools achieve more through collaboration, shared responsibility and service to the children, families and communities entrusted to us.

Together, our vision, values and motto shape the culture of MAST and the decisions we make.

They express a simple ambition: that every child is known, every child is enabled, and every child and adult has the opportunity to Belong, Be Safe and Flourish.
