Peterborough Multi-Academy Trust up for THREE prestigious national awards

We have been recognised for our outstanding achievements by being shortlisted for three prestigious National MAT Awards. Organised by the Multi Academy Trust Association (MATA), these awards celebrate the outstanding achievement and excellent work that multi academy trusts do. 

We are a finalist in the following categories:

• Large MAT of the Year Award – for trusts with 15 or more schools.
• MAT Leadership Team of the Year Award – recognising outstanding achievement and overcoming adversity.
• The Green Trust Award – celebrating trusts that actively promote sustainability and green initiatives in both estate management and the curriculum.

Our dedicated central team at PDET provides comprehensive support and services to 35 Church of England schools across Northamptonshire, Peterborough and Rutland, allowing staff members and leaders to focus on school life.

Our team believes that more can be achieved by working together as one highly committed body, to ensure that every child within the Trust experiences an excellent education and realises their God-given potential to flourish. This is achieved by our agile and efficient central structures, processes, culture, leadership and effective governance, underpinned by a passion for collaboration.

Ruth Walker-Green, CEO of PDET said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have the hard work and dedication of our Trust team recognised by the National MAT Awards committee in three different categories.

“Our incredible team is entirely committed to serving the schools and communities we represent, ensuring that all schools are flourishing and helping every child to thrive. Having our work recognised by the respected Multi Academy Trust Association is something we can all be proud of.”

Matt McDermott, Founder of MATA, added: “Congratulations to PDET on being shortlisted in three categories! The awards this year have seen a record number of entrants so it’s typically a huge achievement to be shortlisted for even 1 award, never mind 3! We look forward to hosting the team at the conference and awards on 6th March, best of luck!”

The National MAT Awards celebrate the exceptional work being done by trusts across the country to improve education standards and outcomes for children. With a strong ethos of collaboration and commitment, we continues to make a significant impact in the education sector. Our team eagerly anticipates the awards ceremony, where we hope to bring home a win for our remarkable efforts.
