Governance - Key Information - The Westwood Academy

Governance

The Kenilworth Multi Academy Trust (KMAT) is proud of our schools, which provide an excellent all-round education, giving all young people the confidence to be successful and make progress.

Learning is at the heart of the KMAT and our curriculum provision will be personalised, inclusive and adapted to meet the needs of all learners.  All pupils will do well, irrespective of their prior attainment and socio-economic profile. 

The curriculum and co-curriculum provision will stimulate a passion for independent learning and the development of broader life skills, as well as embracing academic skills.  All pupils will be supported, and their differences will be recognised, respected and valued.

Pupils will be encouraged to reflect on issues that are important to them and to articulate their opinions and to use all learning opportunities to become more reflective, resilient and resourceful in coping with the ever-changing pressures on them.

Our schools are at the heart of their communities, serving the needs of young people living in their localities and acting as a hub for the benefit of the community.

As the KMAT we will use the strengths and expertise throughout our schools to provide excellent CPD opportunities for all staff leading to sustained improvement in student outcomes across the Trust. We will build on nationally awarded accreditations within our schools (Teaching School, School Direct, World Class School, Quality Inclusion Mark, National Support School, National Leader of Education and National Leader of Governance) to develop and integrate system leadership and school improvement within and beyond the KMAT.

The KMAT is committed to embedding system leadership and school improvement in all of our schools and will want to be we have the right vision and ethos to bring about positive outcomes for all pupils when we consider our expansion plans.
