St Clare CMAT fosters a collective responsibility for the success of all pupils, promoting behaviours of hope, 
joy, love, and curiosity.

We believe that accurate self-evaluation and collaborative work are key to driving school improvement across the Trust.

Our School Improvement Strategy is rooted in the belief that all children should leave school with a profound understanding of their worth and purpose.

Developing Intellectual, Social, and Organisational Capital  

St Clare CMAT’s strategy is underpinned by shared values and a commitment to interdependence, ensuring that all schools benefit from the Trust community’s collective strengths.

Through sharing resources and expertise across the Trust and through a wide range of partnerships and networks with the local community, we aim to develop:

01

Intellectual Capital

We focus on knowing schools well and sharing knowledge among leaders, supporting staff formation and professional development, and aiming to create servant leaders who can sustain school improvement.

02

Social Capital

Strong, trusting relationships are central to setting ambitious goals and transforming teaching and learning. We promote collaboration across schools to ensure continuous improvement and innovation.

03

Organisational Capital

We develop leadership and governance structures to mobilise resources effectively for the benefit of all schools, implementing standardised formats and processes to ensure coherence and effective leadership.
