Trust Merger

DoWMAT Schools Pre-merge

On 1 September 2026, the Diocese of Worcester Multi Academy Trust (DoWMAT) merged with Elements

Diocesan Learning Trust to form a single organisation: Elements Diocesan Learning Trust.

As a result, references on this website to DoWMAT relate to the Trust's former name. During this transition period, some documents, policies and website content may continue to display DoWMAT branding while they are reviewed and updated.

The merger has created a larger family of schools, with five additional schools joining the Trust. This brings new opportunities for collaboration, shared expertise and school improvement, while allowing each school to retain its unique identity and place within its local community.

Our school continues to benefit from the support and opportunities of being part of the Trust, whose vision is:

"Flourishing together, in the love of God," underpinned by the values of Love, Learning and Service, lived out through Collaboration, Honesty and Hope.

The Trust website is also currently being updated to reflect the merger and new branding. During this transition period, Trust-wide policies and key information can be accessed via the current Trust website: www.dowmat.education.

Policies, branding and website content will be harmonised and updated over time across all schools and Trust platforms.

We appreciate your understanding as we update our materials to reflect our new name and identity: Elements Diocesan Learning Trust.

Elements Schools Pre-merge

On 1 September 2026, Elements Diocesan Learning Trust joined the Diocese of Worcester Multi Academy Trust (DoWMAT), creating a larger family of 20 schools working together to provide the very best opportunities for children and young people across our communities.

Following the merger, the merged Trust adopted the name Elements Diocesan Learning Trust, bringing together the strengths and shared vision of both organisations. As the Elements name has been retained, the vast majority of branding across our school remains current and appropriate.

During the transition period, Trust-wide policies, statutory information and key documents are being reviewed and harmonised. The most up-to-date versions of these documents, along with Trust information, can be found on the merged Trust website: www.dowmat.education

Our school remains committed to the Trust vision of "Flourishing together, in the love of God", underpinned by the values of Love, Learning and Service, lived out through Collaboration, Honesty and Hope.

We look forward to the opportunities that being part of a larger Trust family will bring as we continue to support every child to flourish and achieve their full potential.
