Cockburn Multi-academy Trust

Cockburn MAT Vision:

Our core purpose is built on high expectations and raising standards. As a Multi Academy Trust will not only make our existing collaborations more sustainable, but also secure new collaborations. As a Multi Academy Trust, our approach is based on an assimilated methodology to drive forward standards in our partner schools and improve the life chances for children by:

• increasing participation and shared provision through partnership
• providing clear qualitative and quantitative data to track performance in key areas
• improving learner achievement through high quality professional development for teaching, learning
• and enhanced leadership skills
• applying non-negotiables in key aspects of practice to ensure operational consistency
• deploying expertise strategically to provide a seamless education at each key stage

Our vision is to create a group of exceptional schools that radically improve students’ life chances.

We seek to widen their aspirations; to reach destinations that are attainable and fulfilling. We work to raise attainment and the quality of teaching and learning for all our pupils through high expectations of academic success and behaviour.

Cockburn MAT expects all employees, volunteers, governors, trustees, members and visitors to abide by the safer working practice guidance and the Trust social media policy (These documents outline standards of behaviour expected and form Cockburn MAT’s code of conduct).

Gender Pay Gap Reporting

Under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Information) Regulations 2017, organisations with over 250 employees are required by law to carry out Gender Pay reporting. As a public sector organisation this must be done by 31^st March for the previous year. As at 31^st March 2018 Cockburn MAT did not meet the threshold for reporting.

We met the threshold for the snapshot date of 31^st March 2019 and will publish the results on our own website and a government website within one calendar year of 31^st March 2019.

This involves carrying out six calculations that show the difference between the average earnings and of men and women in our organisation, it will not involve publishing individual employee’s data.

We can use these results to assess:

• -The levels of gender equality in the workplace
• -The balance of male and female employees at different levels
• -How effectively talent is being maximised and rewarded
•  

The challenge in our organisation and Great Britain is to eliminate any Gender Pay Gap.

Gender Pay Reporting requires our organisation to make calculations based on employee gender. We will establish this by using our existing HR and payroll records. All employees can confirm and update their records if they choose to by contacting the School Business Manager within their Academy.
