North Cotswold Schools Federation MAT
Our school is part of the NCSF Trust, a new Multi-Academy Trust set up in October 2022, which has four schools over five sites – St. James’ and Ebrington, Cold Aston, Longborough, and Swell. The Trust has been set up under majority articles, which means that we can work together with both church and community schools.
Our aim is to create a wider family of schools, working together to benefit all, whilst ensuring that each school keeps their unique individual identity. Through an understanding of the unique strengths and challenges of different schools, both in the North Cotswolds and wider, we want to proactively create solutions to meet the needs of all of our children and families.
The prioritisation of relationships at all levels is key to the way we all work at the NCSF Trust; we aim for every member of our Trust community to be respected, valued, nurtured and challenged to grow, learn and achieve. We collaborate across our Trust and wider to support, challenge and improve; we are a learning community and seek every opportunity to develop as individuals and as an organisation.
Our schools are supported by an experienced Central Team that includes Jackie our CEO, Andrea our CFO, Anna our School Improvement Lead, Lucy our SENDCo and Emma our Pastoral Lead.
Our MAT Vision:
Rooted in our Christian understanding of life in its fullness, NCSF schools are safe aspirational learning communities where all are nurtured and cherished to shine and flourish as lights in the world. (John 10:10)

As part of the NCSF Multi-Academy Trust, our school vision support the trust vision and the ethos ‘to ensure that every member of our Trust community is respected, valued, nurtured and challenged to grow, learn and achieve.’
The trust aim is to support a community of local schools, working together to benefit all, whilst ensuring that schools keep their individual identities. Through an understanding of the unique strengths and challenges of schools in the North Cotswolds we will work proactively to create solutions to meet the needs of all of our children and families. We will do this through:
The deliberate prioritisation of relationships at all levels.
Putting children at the heart of all we do, by recognising that to achieve this we need to put our staff at the heart of all we do.
Welcoming, celebrating and including everyone.
The pooling of expertise and resources to ensure the best outcomes for all.
Supporting and challenging ourselves and others to be the very best we can be.
