What makes RMAT different?
RMAT is more than just a collection of schools. We're a community dedicated to empowering students, academies, and colleagues to reach their full potential. We pride ourselves on being the kind of place people want to work – our academies are the kind of schools that teachers want to teach in.
We empower teachers with classroom autonomy, provide ongoing coaching for professional development, and value the contributions to student success made by all colleagues at RMAT. We combine classic educational values – excellent teaching, respect, good behaviour, and a strong curriculum – with a forward-thinking approach. We are a community that is constantly striving to learn, grow, and provide the best possible educational experience for all.
Our academies benefit from strong, supportive and compassionate leadership which creates a harmonious environment for staff and students alike. The RMAT community is a place where colleagues can develop their skills, find their own style and methods of teaching, learn and grow alongside their students, and feel that they are making a real difference to the lives of those they teach.
