The Diocese of Bristol Academies Trust (DBAT) was established in 2012 and has grown steadily to 15 schools across Bristol, Wiltshire and Swindon.

Our schools are a mixture of diverse, multi-cultural city settings; small, rural village schools; new builds; and town schools. This brings a rich diversity to the knowledge, experience and expertise of the staff and Trust stakeholders which supports learning for all children and young people.

We currently serve approximately 3,500 students and pupils across the Trust and employ 480 people.

This is an incredible Multi-Academy Trust and this is a pivotal moment in our development as we seek to grow: educationally for our pupils; in training and development for our staff and our partners (locally, regionally, and nationally); culturally as we aim to become a mixed-MAT welcoming Community Schools; and in service of our communities, stakeholders, and most importantly the children and young people.

This is an exciting time to join our Trust - the Regional Director's Office has acknowledged that we are ideally placed for growth and that we have the support of the DfE to do so.

This is all supported by an aspirational and innovative Trust team focused on providing the best for our children. And this is just the beginning…
