Our children have one chance of education and it is the core purpose of the Durrington Multi Academy Trust (DMAT) schools and ... staff to ensure that whatever their starting point, every single child who is part of our family is equipped, through their education, to embrace the opportunities and challenges that life and growing up in the 21st Century present. We take our responsibility of transforming life chances very seriously. We have a clear and ambitious vision for education that is based on a proven track record of success, experience and skills, embodied within an established team of staff. Our schools will work together to bring about the following outcomes: Ensure excellence from all, for all; Transform the life chances of young people and their community; Raise aspirations by believing that together, we can all achieve beyond our expectations. Key to building our excellent educational offer is utilising the expertise that exists within the Trust already; primarily from Durrington High School, the Vale Primary school and the University of Brighton. We will also seek out best practice in the schools that join us, to contribute to the ongoing success of our growing family of schools. Together we will focus on collaboration, high quality professional learning and a shared commitment to excellence. To ensure that the curriculum is delivered in way that will maximize learning for all students we use an evidence informed approach to teaching, that focuses on six sound pedagogical principles – challenge, explanation, modelling, practice, questioning and feedback. The professional learning programme across the trust allows teachers to share, reflect and discuss how best to put these into action in their classrooms. read more
