James Montgomery Academy Trust (JMAT) is an established primary Multi‑Academy Trust serving communities across South Yorkshire. Founded in 2016, the Trust has expanded from an initial group of five Rotherham schools to a vibrant family of 20 distinctive, child‑centred primary schools, educating more than 4,500 pupils from diverse localities, many of which experience high levels of deprivation.
At the heart of JMAT is a commitment to putting
children at the centre of every decision. The Trust’s vision is clear: its
schools are child‑centred, inclusive and distinctive, delivering
excellence in education, sharing best practice, and raising aspirations for
every young person.
JMAT schools design and deliver distinctive, rich and ambitious curriculum offers that are carefully shaped around the individual needs of their pupils and the wider communities they serve. Each of our schools has its own unique identity and ethos, reflecting the character, culture and aspirations of its specific community. These curriculum offers are delivered within safe, happy and purposeful environments, with every school championing its individuality while contributing to collective improvement across the Trust through innovative, research‑driven practice. The Trust is recognised for its strong culture of inclusion, equality, safeguarding and wellbeing, which permeates every aspect of school life and organisational conduct.
Collaboration sits
at the core of JMAT’s approach. Whilst we place great value on working closely
together across our family of schools, we recognise that we cannot grow,
develop, or deliver on our vision for every child without strong, meaningful
partnerships. At the heart of this is the relationship between home and school,
where open and honest communication helps us truly know our young people and enable
us to meet their needs.
Our schools work closely with families, colleagues
and partners at local and national levels to secure high‑quality provision and
successful outcomes for all pupils. The Trust develops reflective,
knowledgeable and highly skilled professionals through structured professional
development opportunities, further strengthened by partnerships such as Forge
CPD, led by JMAT leaders. These collaborative relationships ensure that we
continue to innovate, share expertise and deliver the very best for every child
in our care.
As the Trust continues to grow and evolve, it
offers exciting pathways for ambitious individuals who are passionate about
making a difference. JMAT values its people highly; collegial working, shared
responsibility and a commitment to continuous improvement shape a positive and
supportive professional culture. New colleagues benefit from strong induction,
ongoing development, and the chance to contribute meaningfully to a Trust with
a shared moral purpose.
JMAT is proud to be an inclusive and welcoming
organisation, committed to equality of opportunity and to building a workforce
that reflects the diversity of the communities it serves.
