Welcome

Esteem MAT was formed in 2018 and now consists of 14 academies from the East and West Midlands. Many of our pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities or are disadvantaged. Therefore, inclusion is our watchword, and our vision is for Esteem to be a learning community of excellence for SEND and alternative provision in the Midlands.

We hope you had a wonderful rest over the autumn half term and enjoyed some spooky festivities 🎃
Last half term, our trust achieved a lot. Pupils made strong progress, staff delivered some excellent work, and we saw great collaboration across schools.
We can't wait to see what this term brings. Here's to another half term of growth, learning, and making a difference.

Stanton Vale School, a special school in Long Eaton, is looking for a co-opted governor to join their Local Governing Committee.
As part of the Esteem Multi-Academy Trust, Stanton Vale supports pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. Every child deserves a school that understands them — as a governor, you'll help make sure Stanton Vale does.
What you'll do:
- Provide strategic guidance to the school's leadership team
- Help set the school's direction and oversee its financial performance
- Hold leadership to account, offering both challenge and support
What's in it for you:
- Board-level experience that supports career progression
- The chance to develop skills in strategy, finance, data and leadership
- Build a professional network across different industries
- Use your lived experience to bring a fresh perspective
- Make a lasting difference in young people's lives
We're particularly keen to hear from people with backgrounds in finance, HR, legal, SEND, safeguarding, data analysis and strong local community links — but if you have the commitment and the willingness to learn, we want to hear from you too.
👉 Interested? Contact governance@esteemmat.co.uk or visit https://www.esteemmat.co.uk/governance/
Help shape the future of education in Long Eaton. Become a school governor today.
The first seven weeks of the academic year are done and we are so proud of everything our students and academies have achieved in this time.
A huge thank you to our school staff for the energy and care you've brought every day this half-term.
To everyone across Esteem: enjoy a well-earned break. Rest up, and we'll see you back in November for the second half of the term.
