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.
