East Midlands Education Trust

The EMET Mission Statement

‘To ensure all our students realise their full potential and develop into young citizens who make a positive contribution to society’.

East Midlands Education Trust was formed in September 2014 with a mission to raise the educational standards and improve the life chances of students within the partnership. There are currently fourteen schools in our trust representing the full age range of 3 – 16 along with an alternative education provider.

EMET provides confident and strong strategic leadership underpinned by robust accountability, oversight and assurance for educational and financial performance in every school.

3 Core Functions

1. Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
2. Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the Trust, each school and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff; and
3. Overseeing the financial performance of the Trust and each school and ensuring its money is well spent.

The EMET charter

All schools within the Trust welcome the opportunity to be an equal and valued partner within EMET and see their success measured in the achievement of their own targets and those of the Trust as a whole.
