VbE MATs

A VbE Multi Academy Trust (MAT) is a trust that has demonstrated its commitment to Values-based Education and has been assessed to implement its commitment in practice through a VbE Quality Mark assessment for MATs.

Values-based MATs who want to apply for a Quality Mark assessment should contact us for details.

Selecting a Values-based MAT

One of the greatest challenges for schools who want to join a MAT is preserving their ethos and autonomy. MAT structures prohibit schools from leaving a MAT even where the MAT has changed is policies or failed to honour its pre-joining commitments. This makes it essential for schools to carry out due dilligence on a MAT. For advice on how to carry out effective due dilligence, contact us.

Joining a VbE MAT

MATs that have expressed a commitment to Values-based Education can arrange for an independent assessment. A MAT that has been independently verified as practising VbE becomes a VbE MAT. This provides assurance to schools that the MAT's ethos and practice aligns with their own. For a list of VbE MAT's, contact us
