Aquila (‘the Trust’) is the Diocese of Canterbury’s Multi-Academy Trust Limited (MAT), and was incorporated as a charitable company limited by guarantee in May 2014 (Company number 09035788).
The trust has been imagined and planned to enable flexibility and responsiveness to local context and needs; organisational substructures will evolve as appropriate, influenced by geography, existing collaborative networks and the pace of academy conversions.
Our Company Articles support a model which can unleash potential, enabling us to:
· deliver positive, immediate support and interventions through our own expertise and established consultant partners, as well as wider regional connections
· enhance learning and teaching by engaging in collaborative pedagogical projects, action research and professional development with Christ Church University
· encourage and nurture the dissemination of good practice and promote mutual accountability
· enable focused, effective local governance and secure options for centralised functions and economies of scale
· incorporate community as well as church schools
