About Accord Multi Academy Trust

Accord Multi Academy Trust is an educational charity established in September 2016, currently made up of the four founding members of the Trust; Horbury Academy, Ossett Academy & Accord Sixth Form College, Horbury Primary Academy and Middlestown Primary Academy.

Its vision and key principles are underpinned by the highest expectations on what every child can achieve, regardless of their context or starting point.

The overarching vision for the Trust is to work in one ‘Accord – celebrating the differences of each academy through strong collaboration in order to inspire all members of our learning community to be the best that they can be.’

The Trust is strongly committed to fostering a positive and healthy working environment with wellbeing and workload management at the forefront of all decision making. Its employees benefit from:

  • an opportunity to collaborate with colleagues across academies and within the central Trust teams, and with other academies and trusts on a local or regional basis
  • structured and informal opportunities to share best practice, affording colleagues the opportunity to develop their own skills
  • opportunities to lead on developments as a stepping stone to further career opportunities
  • the opportunity to work in a forward thinking and fast-paced environment, alongside a range of professionals with a proven track record of success in transforming education for young people
  • a commitment to high quality professional development
  • a specific career stage pathway of professional development with a commitment to support engagement in nationally recognised professional qualifications (NPQ’s)
  • nationally agreed terms and conditions in relation to pay and conditions for teaching and associate staff, with local holiday patterns within the local authority of each academy.
  • access to a pension scheme
  • access to discounted rates for self and family members for a range of local and national companies and services, reviewed annually
  • free access to the fitness suite at one of the academies within the Trust.

What people say about us

“Joining Accord has provided me with opportunities to advance my career in a direction which I am truly passionate about. I joined as Director of Mathematics in 2019 and have taken advantage of the opportunities and support available to progress to Vice Principal. I am certain joining Accord was the right choice for me and my career.”

- Dan, Vice Principal

“Working for Accord provides opportunities to work closely with the wider Trust to develop your skills and knowledge and build positive working relationships. I was a School Business Manager at Middlestown Primary when the school joined the Trust in 2016; the support and development opportunities available to me since then have enabled me to progress to a managerial role in the central team alongside completing professional qualifications.”

- Jules, Finance Manager
