Teams around the child

Community cohesion and pride

Our Values • The pursuit of excellence • We value people • Achievement for all • A high quality learning environment • Extending the boundaries of learning

Cambridge Meridian Academies Trust exists to provide, support and champion the provision of high quality education at the heart of local communities. The Trust aims to create a family of academy schools (academies) at all levels (primary, secondary and post-16 and with links to further and higher education) working together – and with others - to ensure the highest educational standards.

We achieve this by using economies of scale and breadth of experience to build expertise, capacity and investment in our academies, and by example and through support, to foster continuous improvement in education across our communities.

Trust academies have common values and operational systems, which they apply locally, reflecting their individuality and local context. They retain their own governing bodies and identities.

As members of the CMAT family, Trust academies aim to unite pupils, parents and local communities and businesses around a common sense of purpose, and to share experience and resources to improve standards and their contribution to their communities. Staff at Trust academies are employed centrally and we seek to use their experience and knowledge to the benefit of the whole family - helping spread best practice, and also offering career development opportunities.

‘Northstowe will not be a dull dormitory town – it will buzz with ideas and

discussion, be a place for people with passion and drive, in part resulting from

the high tech businesses and entrepreneurs located in the town.’

(Development Specification, 2007)

Northstowe should offer the best opportunities

for the future through it’s high tech, modern and sustainable buildings, services and industry.

Yet at its heart it should build upon the values

of the past by offering the highest quality education and community provision from the

cradle to the grave.
