Welcome to the QEGSMAT. We are a growing group of  academies based in Derbyshire, Derby City and Staffordshire. Established  at the start of 2017, our Trust is based on a set of actions defined by  our students; ‘Question, Explore, Give and Succeed’.

The QEGSMAT was set up to enable schools and academies, already  determined to deliver the best possible education, to improve even  further. By bringing skills, experience and diversity, we encourage each  school to keep its own identity, partnerships and traditions.  The Trust includes children of all ages and recognises the benefits of  strong partnerships between primary and secondary schools. With the full  support of the DfE, we specifically aim to partner and collaborate with  schools in different contexts, to increase the opportunities for staff  and students alike.  We are a teacher led, student focused MAT, thriving on close links with  parents and the communities in which we live. The Members, Trustees and  Governors of our MAT recognise we are there to serve the community by  providing the very best all-round education possible to our students.  We set very high aspirations for our staff and students and are  ambitious and excited about the future. If you have any questions, do  not hesitate to get in contact with us.
