At Prime7 MAT, school improvement is a collaborative and reciprocal process. We firmly believe that every school, regardless of its challenges, has strengths, expertise, and best practices that should be recognised and harnessed. Our approach is rooted in support, development, and sustainable growth, ensuring that all our schools thrive within their communities.

Our Commitment to School Improvement

Schools within our trust benefit from a tailored, high-quality support package designed to elevate leadership, teaching, and learning. Whether a school is already performing well or requires intensive support, our bespoke improvement strategies help drive sustained excellence.

How We Support Our Schools

Prime7 MAT provides a structured framework of targeted interventions, coaching, and professional development, ensuring that schools have the right tools to enhance their performance. Our support includes:

• Support and challenge meetings to monitor and drive progress.
• Learning and teaching reviews to ensure the highest standards in classroom practice.
• Accelerated and sustained school improvement programmes for rapid progress where required.
• Instructional teaching mentoring to build and embed evidence-based teaching strategies.
• Professional development through our PDP (Professional Development Programme) to empower leaders, teachers, and support staff.

Our proven approach to school improvement has consistently delivered:
 

• Improved pupil outcomes and academic performance.

Our Approach: A Partnership for Growth

We work alongside schools, not above them. Our approach is rooted in partnership, respect, and professional integrity. Every school is unique, and we tailor our support to meet specific school contexts rather than enforcing a one-size-fits-all model.

• Collaborative Partnership – We co-design strategies with school leaders to ensure meaningful impact.
• Leading by Example – Our school improvement work is research-informed and led by experienced professionals.
• No Fixed Model – We do not subscribe to rigid frameworks but adapt to each school’s unique needs.
• Honest, Open & Professional – Mutual trust and respect underpin everything we do.
• Recognising Strengths – Every school has areas of expertise, and we work to develop and share these strengths.

Growth & Future Development

As a growing trust, Prime7 MAT is open to expansion opportunities where we can make a real difference. We welcome discussions with Local Authorities, the Regional Director, and individual schools seeking a supportive and ambitious trust. Our focus is on schools aligning with our mission to empower schools, staff, and children to succeed.

At Prime7 MAT, we don’t just improve schools - we help them grow, thrive, and inspire the next generation.
