About Oak Multi Academy Trust

Type
Multi-academy trust

As a thriving, local trust of five schools covering 3-16 age ranges, we are located in Leicestershire and Leicester City, with an infant, a junior, two primaries, and one secondary. We are passionate about making a real

difference to the lives of all our children and about empowering our whole school communities to enable this to happen to its fullest.

Our OAK vision statement is: Together we grow great schools

We do this through our values by:

Continually identifying and supporting opportunities to improve;

having an unerring ambition to achieve; and

embodying kindness by doing the “right thing”

We believe that our colleagues are our greatest asset and we are building on our strong base of colleague benefits through extensive instructional coaching utilising Steplab. We are proud that two of our schools are

becoming a Steplab hub in September 2024. We are currently launching our exciting Trust wide digital transformation program Frontiers which will see over half our schools introduce 1:1 iPad programme in 2024-25.

Each of our schools has a strong identity, a hallmark of OAK. We collaborate extensively and agree strategy together whilst always valuing the different contexts of our schools. Each of our schools believe that we are stronger together and we have equity for all our pupils at the heart of our strategic decisions.

Our schools are:

Brookside Primary School
