The Ted Wragg Trust, a family of 16 schools based across Devon has been shortlisted for a prestigious Multi Academy Trust (MAT) Excellence Award.

The Trust has been shortlisted for the Staff Development Award. To succeed in their mission to ‘transform lives and strengthen communities to make the world a better place’ our family of schools knows they must ‘grow great people’ as the teachers and co-professionals across schools are the ones who support, inspire and help unlock the potential of children across their school communities every day. 

At the heart of the Trust’s people strategy is a commitment to ensuring that all employees enjoy high-quality development and this commitment is embedded across all schools. All trust employees have access to enabling and transformative development, excellent leadership development programmes including Future Headship programmes, outstanding networks and regular and supportive instructional coaching for all teachers to support their continual development.

The MAT Excellence Awards give trusts across the UK the opportunity to celebrate their achievements and allows trusts to showcase their expertise and share their knowledge with peers. The awards ceremony will be held later this year. 

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said:

“I am delighted that the trust has been shortlisted for a MAT Excellence Award, it’s amazing to see the efforts we have put into making the trust a brilliant place to work being recognised. We want to be one of the best employers in the South West and know that empowering our staff to be the very best they can be, means they are doing their very best by our young people.”
