What is Drapers' Multi-Academy Trust

Drapers’ Multi-Academy Trust was founded in July 2014. The trust aims to deliver first-class education to all the educational institutions they are involved in and create the opportunity for all pupils to succeed. The Drapers’ MAT is supported by The Drapers’ Company and Queen Mary University of London.

All academies that are a part of the MAT are governed by one trust and a single board of directors. The directors are responsible for decisions relating to each academy such as the curriculum and staffing. Drapers’ MAT has taken the decision to create a local governing body for each of its academies.
