Welcome from our CEO
Welcome to Esteem Multi-Academy Trust!
I’m delighted that you want to find out more about us. 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. However, we want mainstream schools to join us too as they have many pupils with SEND or who are disadvantaged. We want all our pupils to achieve their full potential whatever type of school they attend.
Our people are our most valuable resource. We invest in them by providing high quality specialist training, opportunities to collaborate and develop their careers within Esteem.
We greatly value each school’s unique identity, which reflect the diverse needs of the pupils. It is also important to us that our pupils feel they belong to their school community. This is why we believe that our schools need strong leaders and governors who understand their local context. Being part of a family of schools in a trust brings the added benefits of support and collaboration. We know that sharing ideas and working together are the best ways for our schools to continue to improve for the benefit of all our pupils.

Chief Executive Officer
Esteem South Academy is seeking views on a significant change proposal that will see the academy increase in pupil numbers following the repurposing of its current space. This change aims to better meet the needs of pupils and stakeholders by expanding the provision for 5-16-year-olds in line with local authority demand for Alternative Provision (AP). With this expansion, the academy will be able to offer more direct commissioning from local schools and neighbouring local authorities for funded dual registered places as a preventative measure to permanent exclusion.
