About Us

We are a primary-specialist multi-academy trust with a strong track record of improving schools. Our focus is to provide an extraordinary education for every pupil.

Established in 2014, our trust has grown from three schools to a community of fifteen primary schools and a nursery. We also have a central services team supporting schools and a thriving teaching alliance. With over 5,500 pupils and more than 850 staff, we are one of the largest primary multi-academy trusts in the West Midlands. Our geographical reach includes Worcestershire, Sandwell and Dudley. Our ambition for each school continues to be a priority with 100% of our schools judged to be ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, several of which have improved from weaker predecessor judgements.

The Rivers C.of E. Academy Trust is a connected learning community, with a strong culture of collaboration. Our team of extraordinary people has high expectations and works passionately on our shared mission.

Education provision across our family of schools is closely matched to the specific needs of our learners, particularly the most vulnerable and their families. Children are at the heart of everything we do and we have high hopes for every child whatever their background, need or prior attainment.

Rather than just looking at pupil outcomes and results whilst at school, we envision the future lives of our children as engineers, designers, artists and teachers. Through our meaningful curriculum and My Extraordinary Experiences (MEE) offer, children acquire the knowledge, skills and positive attitudes to become the very best version of themselves.

Our journey

Celebrating 10-years The Rivers CofE Academy Trust logoWorking collaboratively, both across the trust and with external organisations, is central to our success and we are now in a position to celebrate our reputation as a primary trust of choice in the West Midlands.

Over the last ten years, we have enjoyed many successes, from opening two free schools to winning Large MAT of the Year and MAT Leadership Team of the Year at the National MAT Awards 2023 and STEM Project of the Year at the Worcestershire Education Awards 2024. In addition, we have successfully designed and implemented an innovative governance structure to meet the needs of a multi-academy trust.

In 2023, the trust was approved as a founding associate college for the National Institute of Teaching and our thriving teaching alliance now works with over forty schools across the region. We are proud of all we have achieved at school and trust level and are now ready to build on the success of our first ten years to ensure that our future is equally bright.
