What the school offers its staff
INFORMATION ABOUT THE GENERATIONS MULTI ACADEMY TRUST
GMAT is a cross-phase Multi Academy Trust based in Cheshunt, currently comprising two secondaries and two primaries - Goffs Academy, Goffs-Churchgate Academy,
Flamstead End School and Andrews Lane School. Across the piece, GMAT currently has
just under 3,000 students in its care and employs just under 400 staff. The MAT also has nursery provision on the Goffs-Churchgate site, with subsidised and term-time only places for staff.
The nursery is run by Ashbourne Nurseries - https://ashbournedaynurseries.com/.
All of the schools are within close proximity of each other and share many activities, including CPD for staff. One of the Trust’s fundamental principles is that no one school is in any way more important or successful than the other. As such, CPD and other events are rotated through all schools in the Trust, with everyone learning from and sharing with each other. This collegiate and collaborative approach permeates our Trust.
The MAT is extremely clear about its daily purpose, reflected in its motto of “No Set Destiny for Any Child.” All of our schools, leaders and staff believe fiercely in the life-changing nature of education and work tirelessly to that end, day in and day out. There is no set destiny for any of the children in our care; rather, our daily work across the piece allows children to forge new futures and destinies.
Oakview Primary School is a one-form entry warm and welcoming primary school with currently approximately 170 children on roll. In September 2025, Andrews Lane Primary will relaunch as Oakview Primary, marking the beginning of a significant transformation under the leadership of the Generations Multi Academy Trust. This is far more than a rebrand. The change of name signals a new identity, reflecting the ambition to deliver the highest possible standard of education, to ensure strong community links, and continuously improving outcomes for all children. The school benefits from significant space, including a field and a forest. As a 'Herts Therapeutic Thinking' school, the school is committed to understanding and supporting children with their learning and achievement, within a context of deep- rooted mutual respect. One of the features of Oakview is its commitment to supporting its children and their families, and as such the school provides adult learning classes throughout the year. Staff are committed, dedicated professionals who want to do their very best for every pupil.
Flamstead End School is a thriving primary school in Cheshunt with approximately 490 children on roll. It has a preschool, a 60-place nursery offering 30 hours provision, and two classes per year group from Reception to Year 6.
Flamstead end is also a ' Herts Therapeutic Thinking' school, and seeks to understand and support children's behaviour so that they are able to learn and achieve to the best of their ability. The school is a tight knit community, with a well- established staff who care for one another and the children intheir charge.
Goffs is a mixed 11-18 comprehensive academy with approximately 1,600 students on
roll, including a thriving and successful sixth form. The school is also extremely popular in the local area,
with an average of over 800 applications annually for the 240 places available, and significant waiting lists for places across the year groups.
Goffs-Churchgate is a fully mixed comprehensive school for 11-16 year olds, with just over 600 students on roll. The school has rightly established a very strong reputation for both its academic outcomes and its close-knit, nurturing community, receiving over 600 applications for just 120 places for 2024 admission. The decision to cap student numbers at 600 is entirely deliberate, enabling us to maintain a strong sense of community where everybody knows everybody else.
The MAT is financially secure. Finances are overseen by a Chief Finance Officer with considerable financial expertise in the private sector, plus a highly experienced Finance Manager. The Trust deliberately created an Income Generation function, and extensive lettings and business development work now takes place across all sites in the MAT. This additional income – now yielding around £600k per annum – underpins generous levels of staffing at both schools, plus many “extras” that would otherwise be unaffordable in the current funding climate.
Our schools pride themselves on their sense of community – both within the school itself, and in the wider locality. Visitors to our schools unfailingly comment on a very real sense of community, coupled with warmth and pride. Three of our schools are members of Cheshunt extended services (CHEXS), offering a variety of extended school and community-based activities for both students and parents. Our students actively support local charity work such as the Isabel Hospice and maintain strong links with our local primary schools.
Our schools are proud to be truly community-based schools, with students and staff from different religions and a number of languages spoken in each school. As a Trust we recognise and celebrate what makes us unique and different and acknowledge that we are also part of one community. Our aim is for everybody to feel valued and respected, and we strive hard to ensure we create a positive culture within the schools to enable this to happen.

Staff Development
The Trust has an extremely strong reputation for staff development, for both teaching and support staff. Developing the next generation of school leaders, both middle and senior, plus future headteachers for those who wish to pursue this, is also a responsibility
that we take very seriously. We have a full suite of staff leadership development which staff can join, be they an ECT or highly experienced colleague.
In addition to whole staff training days, we disaggregate a number of hours for training every year. This allows staff development to be highly personalised as staff can opt for the training which best meets their needs, including the opportunity to do a research project in partnership with Cambridge University. Many use their disaggregated time to coach others or to receive coaching. Moreover, there are specific training sessions for ECTs and other interested staff which run each week after school.
We also place a lot of emphasis on ‘on the job’ training and support. A thorough induction scheme is available to all new staff, and mentors/buddies are assigned to guide you through those new routines. Finally, external courses can of course be booked if, on very rare occasions, we cannot cater for a particular training need in house.
Leadership Development
The Trust’s leadership academy encompasses both staff and student leadership development through a series of student led groups and staff leadership pathways. The staff programme specifically provides opportunities for:
Aspiring middle leaders Aspiring senior leaders
All pathways are personalised for the individual and staff receive one to one support from a mentor alongside working on a whole school project. both support staff and teaching staff are welcome to join the leadership academy at any point in their career.
A full suite of leadership training is offered with a range of sessions including:
Communicating vision and values Developing your leadership approach Building a high performing team Supporting your team
Leading your team day to day Quality assuring effective teaching Observation for improvement Using data for impact
Fostering positive behaviour for learning Leading and managing innovation and change
Attendance to all training sessions leads to certification by the SSAT. In addition, we encourage aspirant senior leaders to take part in the SSAT ‘stepping up to senior
leadership’ training programme, which includes four external sessions throughout the year. As part of the Trust’s commitment to developing future leaders, a number of the
existing senior leadership team across both secondary schools gained experience through an ‘associate’ SLT position before gaining substantive leadership posts.

Competitive base salary with a tailor made development plan aimed at enhancing your future [earnings] potential through:
