Our Trust serves a number of rural and market town areas and we are proud of our moorland heritage and the strong links with our communities.

The Trust was created to enable schools and staff to work closely together in providing the best education possible for our children. We achieve this through meaningful collaboration both within our schools and beyond our Trust to ensure schools are able to secure and sustain improvement.

Our work is built on our shared values and an unwavering belief that education improves the life chances for the children in our care.

We aim for everyone in our organisation, staff and children, to be the best they can be and are relentless in our ambition to achieve this.

We offer a curriculum that has high academic expectations of our children, ensuring they have the skills and knowledge to be successful in adulthood. We want our children to look back on their school experience with a sense of achievement and joy and we provide a wealth of additional curriculum experiences to enrich their learning.

We care deeply about the children in our schools and work with kindness, compassion, manners and respect. By modelling and expecting these behaviours from our children, we aim to grow future citizens who will positively contribute to society, creating a brighter future for our world.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We look forward to welcoming all who wish to be involved with the DMAT family, whether as a pupil, member of staff, community partner or volunteer.
