The Bordesley Multi Academy Trust is a high-quality education provider serving the Redditch and Worcestershire community. We are a small, well-connected alliance of four schools: one first school, two middle schools and one high school. Our guiding principles of trust, autonomy, respect, equity, and outstanding relationships allow us to raise aspirations in the community we serve.

Training to teach with us will guarantee an exceptional teacher training experience. The professional development we offer is underpinned by research evidence, which has allowed us to develop a teaching, learning and assessment framework which is aligned to the Early Career Framework, the Great Teaching Toolkit and Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction. More broadly, we encourage all our trainee teachers to become full and active members of our alliance community by taking part in student extra-curricular activities, contributing to staff meetings, and grasping opportunities for involvement in all areas of school life.  

Teachers who have trained with us have given us incredibly positive feedback on their experience, which has allowed them to develop their practice more effectively and has led many to return to our alliance for ECT positions. We endeavour to make our schools happy places for both our staff and children. Schools within our Alliance promote workplace well-being, work with colleagues to offer exciting career opportunities and specialise in developing leaders at all stages of their career.

We are keen to recruit individuals who share our passion for creating happy and rewarding futures for our young people and who wish to work in a thriving and vibrant school community.

The St John Bosco Catholic Multi-Academy (SJBCA) was established in September 2013. SJBCA grew out of a partnership with a secondary and two feeder primary schools within the Dudley Borough. The desire for these schools to work together was to support and grow the Catholic educational opportunities for the children of Dudley to access quality Catholic education from 3-18 years. The multi-academy company comprised of a secondary school, Bishop Milner Catholic College and Sixth Form, St Chad’s Catholic Primary School and St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School until April 2020 when a further secondary school, Stuart Bathurst Catholic High School and a primary St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, both in Sandwell, joined the St John Bosco MAC family.   The MAC grew further in September 2021 when St John Bosco Catholic Primary School, Sandwell (including the English Hub) and St Bernadette’s Catholic Primary School in Walsall joined. Most recently on the 1st of June 2022 we welcomed St Mark’s Catholic Primary School to our family of schools.

The multi-academy is currently responsible for over 3000 children and young people, along with more than 350 staff. As part of our mission as a multi-academy we want to provide opportunities for the next generation of teachers to train in both our primary and secondary settings which serve across Dudley, Walsall, Sandwell and greater Birmingham. Trainees will have full access to the professional training offered within the multi-academy as part of our ‘People Strategy’ and also gain access to numerous potential employers (two secondary schools and 6 primary schools over the course of their training year.

'All pupils achieve the highest standard of educational outcomes regardless of circumstance or background’

The drb Ignite Trust has been established through a shared belief that lives can be transformed by what goes on in schools. The vision of the Trust is to build an excellent organisation where every school is part of a strong and sustainable whole. We believe that by working as one cohesive group, every child can become a powerful learner and all staff can learn and develop together as professional leaders and educators.

To make our vision happen and to sustain effective performance across our schools we keep our strategy simple:

One Trust one organisation

The Trust and its schools see themselves as one organisation created with the sole purpose of advancing education for the benefit of pupils, families and the wider community. We recognise the power of schools working together in a single governance structure with clear accountability arrangements. We want our schools to respond to the diversity of their local context, taking decisions in accordance with the needs of the children and families they serve whilst also collaborating and sharing effectively together through a structured system. We believe this is the best way to provide effective levels of support and build resilience.

School Improvement model

The Trust’s school improvement model is based on achieving consistently high-quality learning across all schools. This involves a relentless focus on front-line practice, put simply, the quality of teachers, teaching and the curriculum. We are driven by a passion about every detail of a pupil’s experience. We see this as central to our social justice responsibilities to contribute to wider social good by developing schools that are able to focus on the substance of education and the diverse needs of pupils.

Cross Trust Collaboration

We believe the professional capacity and capability of our leaders, teachers and support staff is central to achieving effective teaching and learning. As one Trust, we work together to create the conditions for deep collaboration that improves the quality of education for everyone. We are committed developing improvement and intervention models that solve and overcome persistent problems, particularly for the most disadvantaged pupils.

Research and evidence informed practice

We are an outward facing Trust that actively seeks opportunities to work with other academy trusts to draw on best evidence. We are committed to system leadership that goes beyond collaboration and engages deliberate system design and system building to improve teaching and learning. We want all our schools to bring together reflection, action, theory and practice in the pursuit of improved outcomes.

Geographical focus and reach

We are constantly growing and developing as a bespoke primary school Trust across the West Midlands. Our schools are close enough to be able to share easily, travel between each other and collaborate with the minimum of logistical fuss. This is an important feature of our system design.
