About Peterborough Diocese Education Trust
- Type
- Multi-academy trust
Peterborough Diocese Education Trust (PDET) is a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) that was created in 2014 to be the ‘home for church schools’. It is currently made up of 33 academies; 30 academies are in Northamptonshire, one in Rutland and one in Peterborough.
Our primary academies deliver education to 6000 children of all faiths and none. Many of our staff would not describe themselves as regular church attenders, however, they feel that they are able to subscribe to the values that we consider important to achieving outstanding education within a distinctly Christian ethos.
We believe children flourish in our schools if the adults are flourishing. Therefore, supporting and developing our staff is a key priority. We regard this as a strength of our Trust.
We believe in the infinite worth of each person: children deserve the very best education and staff deserve support to deliver this.
