Welcome

Esteem MAT was formed in 2018 and now consists of 14 academies from the East and West Midlands. Many of our pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities or are disadvantaged. Therefore, inclusion is our watchword, and our vision is for Esteem to be a learning community of excellence for SEND and alternative provision in the Midlands.

We're Social
This week we kicked things off with our English Learning Community, bringing educators together to share best practice and explore the latest developments in pedagogy.
Jolene Carter and Ben Taylor led fantastic sessions of collaboration, discussion, and shared insight - exactly what these communities are built for.
A big thank you to everyone who joined, contributed, and brought their expertise to the table.
