Our Trust

Founded in January 2018, our Trust is a vibrant and growing family of schools across the North West of England. We are proud to work in partnership with 15 fully converted schools, each a valued member of our Victorious family and united by a shared vision and strong core values that shape everything we do.

Our established East Manchester Hub brings together a highly collaborative network of schools across Tameside and Glossop, fostering professional excellence, shared learning and collective responsibility.

On 1st March 2026, Adswood Primary School in Stockport officially joined our Trust, marking an exciting milestone in our development across neighbouring local authorities. Building on the success of our East Manchester Hub, we are now beginning to grow a new hub in Stockport — strengthening local collaboration and extending the benefits of our Central Team services to more communities.

We believe in creating pathways for all — ensuring every learner can thrive, achieve, and be inspired. Our vision focuses on personal growth, academic progress, character development, and preparation for future employment. Lifelong learning, staff development and meaningful engagement with our communities sit at the heart of our mission.

By removing barriers to achievement and placing learning within the context of each individual’s future aspirations, we aim to empower every child, young person, and adult to fulfil their potential — today and in the future.

Schools interested in learning more about partnership opportunities within our Trust, including the future development of our Stockport Hub, are warmly invited to contact Helen Thomas on 0161 830 6964 or email info@victoriousmat.org for an informal conversation.

Here is what our staff have to say:

The Trust helps our school maintain high standards while at the same time putting a real emphasis on staff wellbeing.

There is a real sense that the Trust has been set up to achieve the best possible outcome for every single child and every decision is made with that in mind, nothing is imposed for the sake of it. The schools all have their own unique characteristics, and these differences are encouraged and celebrated. Joining the Trust has been and continues to be a very positive experience for our school.

I know I have improved as a teacher thanks to the support and care from my school SLT and a wide range of CPD opportunities.

Starting as a Midday Assistant and progressing to my current role as TA3, my school and Victorious Academies Trust have supported me throughout my journey and provided me with the opportunities to progress.

Being part of the Trust gives is the opportunity to share ideas, offer support and advice between all of our schools within the Trust and ultimately makes us stronger and the best that we can be.

For me, being part of Victorious Trust means my school and I benefit from valuable collaboration with other colleagues from a diverse range of settings. All schools have a shared passion to develop the five key values of the Trust and hold these at the heart of everything they do.

I always feel valued, appreciated and trusted as a teacher and am supported wherever needed. I love the ethos of the Trust, with the children being at the heart of everything, and I am so proud of the experiences we are able give to the children within our school family.
