Executive Team

The Central Support Term (CST) is a team of experienced business and education professionals, with expertise to support the development of learning and teaching and the administrative aspects of the Learning Partnership.

ATLP’s Central Support Team works closely alongside the CEO, Leadership Teams and Trust Board, managing all core MAT business functions to ensure that we are superior as a MAT, robust as a business and that standards are consistent throughout the Trust.

By centralising specialist services, we are able to maintain high standards, deliver a more effective and cohesive business support model, and provide better value for money, maximising economies of scale. This enables our school leaders to focus on teaching and learning, which is the bedrock of our MAT improvement strategy.
