Welcome to INSPIRE Connected Communities Trust

Thank you for seeking more information about us. INSPIRE MAT was formed in 2015 and currently consists of 4 academies from Lincolnshire in the East and Midlands, alongside a proposed children’s home. Many of our pupils and students have special educational needs and/or disabilities or are disadvantaged. Therefore, inclusion and equity are a driving force, within our trust, with our vision, for INSPIRE to be a learning community of excellence, including SEND.

In our passion for all education, we want mainstream schools to join us too, recognising the strengths from all schools and as mainstream partners have many pupils and students with SEND or who are disadvantaged. We want all our pupils and students to achieve their full potential whatever type of school they attend.

Our vision is to be a Trust that:

Champion’s innovation and excellence through the provision of inspirational, lifelong learning.

Our culture is based on a coaching ethos and recognises that people are our most valuable resource. We hold a strong history of, and have current practices that invest in our staff team, across the trust, in all roles, providing high quality specialist training, opportunities to collaborate and develop their careers.  We focus on people personally as that impacts on who they are professionally, which ultimately impacts on our pupils and students.  

We greatly value each school’s unique identity, which reflect the diverse needs of its community, pupils and students. It is important to us that our pupils and students feel they belong to their school and setting community. Strength in leadership, including governance is essential, ensuring a strong understanding of their local context and community. Being part of a family of schools in a trust brings the added benefits of support and collaboration. We know that sharing ideas, working together in a culture of supportive challenge, is the best ways for our schools to continue to improve for the benefit of all.
