The Trust has been formed by three ‘founder’ schools working together at Headteacher and governor level to create a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) structure that combines the desire for each school to be different and autonomous with the benefits of sharing key functions and processes. The Red Kite approach has always been to value the differences and encourage the special and unique elements that each school offers to their different communities.
At the same time we know that some of the ‘back office’ functions of our schools can better be delivered centrally and that we can also ensure that all our schools continue to strive for excellence through appropriate support and challenge from within the Trust.
