Our Trust was formed in April 2017 to help local schools in Dartford collaborate effectively and share resources, administration and specialist managerial skills and, of course, best teaching practice. The Trust currently includes selective and non-selective secondary schools and a primary school.

At Endeavour MAT we aim to help our students and staff find their own individual pathway to success. Exam results, apprenticeships and university places are important, but we also understand the need to develop wider life skills, the communication abilities and confidence that will contribute to both job prospects and happiness.
Integral to this is the ‘Endeavour Mindset’, the idea that ‘how’ we do things is as important as our overall strategic goals. Our schools of course have their own identities but all share this Endeavour mindset, encouraging students to reflect and embrace challenges, learn from mistakes and develop the resilience essential in our rapidly changing world. This growth approach and on-going drive for improvement is shared by all Trust staff.

Regardless of the role you are applying for, you will have fantastic opportunities to develop your career and sense of professional fulfilment here at Endeavour MAT.

WHY WORK FOR ENDEAVOUR?

The shared vision and ethos of our schools promotes a love of learning and encourages students to be ambitious in their performance and aspirations for the future.  We value the pursuit of academic excellence, the achievement of potential and the contribution made to the life of our wider community.   But we only achieve this because we have a highly skilled, motivated and committed workforce. 

We can offer a friendly, close-knit and nurturing staff environment.  Professional support and development is at the heart of what we do and we actively look to grow our own talent at all levels, whether that is upskilling in a current role or preparing for promotion to a more senior role.
