WELCOME TO MATRIX.
Matrix is the perfect place to work with like-minded and supportive educators.
I am very proud to be the CEO of the Matrix Academy Trust. It is truly a privilege to work with like-minded, hard-working colleagues who are all focused on delivering the Trust’s vision.
Our vision is simple: every child deserves an exceptional education. We make this happen by doing the things which really make a difference. Working smartly means we have staff who want to work here. It ensures we have the capacity to care for every pupil, providing them with the best possible education – without exception.
A great school is one people want to work at and one parents want to send their children to. No matter how great our schools might be, we never rest on our laurels. We are restless in our efforts to keep improving and we instil this in our young people.
Lynsey Draycott | CEO
Everyone Playing Their Part.
Everyone plays a key role in providing our pupils with an excellent education, without exception.
School Based Roles
Our ethos is simple – to ensure that no child in our care should fail. Everything we do is in pursuit of that aim. Our commitment to inclusive education, extremely high standards for all and a “No excuses” culture permeates our academies.
We strongly believe that the reason for our success is the people who work for us, at all levels, both in teaching and support. We therefore invest in them because they make a difference. Our staff seek educational excellence, have the highest of standards, and contribute to the ongoing success of an exceptional educational network.
Head Office Roles
Our Head Office and Central Support Team have a vast range of specialisms and expertise. They are on hand to support and guide all trust leaders to ensure schools are achieving their full potential.
The Central Team play a key role in the development of the Matrix Academy Trust, constantly being required to evolve and adapt to global, national and local agendas.
The evolution of the Central Team means that we can support our academies to develop and focus on what is required. This gives us a clear growth strategy and trajectory focusing on 3 points: internalisation, centralisation and specialisation.
School Improvement Team
The Matrix School Improvement Team is regularly called upon by other trusts to forensically diagnose their improvement needs and provide follow-up support.
We have taken a leading role in developing the Department for Education’s Workload Reduction toolkit, from 2015 to the present day, and have been heavily involved in the DfE School Improvement Work.
Members of our school improvement team are recognised experts in their fields.
