Welcome to PPAT

A Welcome from the Trust CEO - Mrs Bernie Green

“to be the best we can be”

PPAT is a group of wonderful Primary schools in beautiful Somerset. It originated in 2013 from Preston C of E Primary School, and then became a Multi Academy Trust when a new school joined. (Preston Primary Academy Trust)

Much of our ethos and values have evolved from our original school, drawing on successes and our belief in the individuality of each school and its community.

We have a mix of Church of England schools and non-church schools in towns and villages. The distinctive character of each school is therefore celebrated and protected, within their communities. This is achieved by working collaboratively, with a strong focus on maintaining and developing each school’s unique identity. As such, our schools are led by creative people who are also encouraged in their individual approaches, whilst meeting the overarching principles of our Trust.

Our leadership teams are passionate about providing an excellent, wide ranging education for all children which will develop a love of learning to last throughout their lives.

We are dedicated to keeping children at the very heart of everything we do.

Staff, Local Governing Boards, Directors, and Members are uncompromising in their aim to provide the very best education in a safe, caring and stimulating environment; meeting the needs of the community in which they serve.

Our belief that “all children can achieve” remains at the heart of everything we do.

PPAT continues to grow, and to welcome new schools into our highly performing Trust.

We are happy to support schools that are currently not in our trust.

We look forward to working with you.
