We are thrilled to announce that Severn Bridges Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) has been recognized for its exceptional commitment to students and educational excellence, receiving two prestigious award nominations!

Firstly, we've been shortlisted for the MAT Association (MATA) and Optimus Education MAT Excellence Awards for our outstanding provision for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). This nomination highlights the dedication and hard work of our staff in creating inclusive and supportive learning environments.

"We are absolutely delighted to be shortlisted for these awards," said Andrew Morris, CEO of Severn Bridges MAT. "It's truly rewarding to see the exceptional work our schools do with special needs pupils recognized at a national level."

Secondly, we are incredibly proud to be finalists for the MATA 'Small MAT of the Year' award. This nomination celebrates our overall effectiveness, impact, and the positive outcomes we achieve for our students across all five of our Shrewsbury academies:

• Greenfields Primary School
• Harlescott Junior School
• Mount Pleasant Primary School
• Radbrook Primary School
• Sundorne Infant School

This recognition underscores our commitment to providing high-quality education and fostering a thriving learning community.

Looking ahead, representatives from Severn Bridges MAT will attend the MATA awards ceremony in Milton Keynes, followed by the Optimus Education MAT Excellence Awards in London this summer. We are excited to celebrate this achievement and share our successes with the wider community.

As we continue to grow and expand, Severn Bridges MAT remains dedicated to providing exceptional educational opportunities for all pupils.
