Founded on a shared vision and a commitment to putting children and staff first, Empower Multi Academy Trust was established on 1 June 2018 by six Shropshire schools united by common values and a belief in the power of collaboration. Just three months later, a seventh school joined our family, laying the foundations for the thriving Trust we are today.
From the very beginning, our ambition has been clear: to shape a stronger future for education in our communities by working together. We believe that when schools collaborate, share expertise and support one another, they can achieve far more for their children than they ever could alone.
In an increasingly challenging educational landscape, where budgets are stretched, expectations continue to rise, and access to affordable school improvement support is reducing, partnership has never been more important. Empower Multi Academy Trust brings together a family of unique church and community schools across Shropshire, united by a shared commitment to providing the very best education for every child.
We believe learning should be engaging, inspiring and transformative. By bringing together the knowledge, skills and experience of colleagues across our schools, we create opportunities for innovation, professional growth and continuous improvement. This collaborative approach strengthens outcomes for pupils while enabling schools to learn from one another and flourish together.
Our mission extends beyond academic success. We are committed to nurturing confident, resilient and compassionate young people who are equipped to succeed socially, morally and academically, and who make a positive contribution to their communities.
While collaboration lies at the heart of our Trust, we are equally passionate about preserving the individuality of every school. We celebrate the distinctive ethos, traditions and strengths that make each school special, working closely with Local Governing Bodies to ensure schools retain their unique identity and deep connections within their communities.
At Empower, we foster a culture of courage, innovation and opportunity. We empower children, staff, governors and leaders to play an active role in shaping exceptional learning experiences, ensuring that together we continue to grow, improve and achieve more for every child.

Stronger together. Better for children.
