About the Trust/ History
In this time of educational change, there are many opportunities for outstanding individuals to make a real difference to children and relish new opportunities to progress in their careers.
Working in a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) and as an Academy may be a new experience for some colleagues and we have tried to use the new freedoms to provide the very best working conditions and opportunities to allow the careers of talented individuals to flourish. We are currently a primary-focused academy chain working in the East Midlands.
OWLS Multi-Academy Trust was formed in September 2013 forming from a Federation of two Outstanding schools Langmoor and Glenmere Primary Schools (previously federated in 2011/12). The Trust has been part of the OLP – Oadby Learning Teaching Partnership and Teaching School Alliance of which it played an influential part.
The Trust embraces many agencies and supportive groups benefit everyone with the MAT.
