What makes us unique
- CollaborateCollaborate
We are fortunate that we work closely with a cluster of outstanding and good schools for the purposes of shared vision and commitment to improving the life chances of all Walsall children. All of our cluster schools lie within the Walsall and immediate surrounding area and are a mixture of maintained schools, faith schools, single academy trusts and of course our MAT schools. The cluter is known as the William Cluster. Historically, we have formulated policy together, worked in teacher groups for moderation, across English and Maths; carried out SATs Monitoring visits and shared training days. This is steered through the Head Teacher Group, who meet half termly, to identify ways to support and challenge each other; to provide training and CPD opportunities through shared financial commitment and to develop our next rung leaders. Whether interested in joining The Loriners MAT, or simply being interested in joining the William Cluster, please do contact us for further information.
- ConnectConnect
Making the right connections requires a little bit of heart and a little bit of head! Whilst an emotional connection is key – you can’t beat the positive buzz that comes with being on ‘the same page’ – it is important to channel that emotion into a true long lasting connection through shared vision, values and aspiration. Secure connections emerge from strong links, forged by hard work and commitment. The Loriners MAT and our wider cluster colleagues seek partnerships that share pedagogical understanding, a desire to improve the life chances of all Walsall children and families.
