About Endeavour MAT
Endeavour MAT aims to help our students and staff find their own individual pathway to success.
Our Trust was formed in April 2017 to help local schools in Dartford collaborate effectively and share resources, administration and specialist managerial skills and, of course, best teaching practice. The Trust includes selective and non-selective schools, single sex and co-ed.
Endeavour MAT aims to help our students find their own individual pathway to success. Exam results, apprenticeships and university places are important, but we also understand the need to develop wider life skills, the communication abilities and confidence that will contribute to both job prospects and happiness. Integral to this is the ‘Endeavour Mindset’, the idea that ‘how’ we do things is as important as our overall strategic goals. Our schools of course have their own identities but all share this Endeavour mindset, encouraging students to reflect and embrace challenges, learn from mistakes and develop the resilience essential in our rapidly changing world. This growth approach and on-going drive for improvement is shared by all Trust staff.
Endeavour MAT is a small Trust in Kent comprised of three secondary schools, one primary school and a sixth form provision, WG6
Wilmington Grammar School for Girls
Wilmington Grammar School for Boys
Stone Lodge School
