For Peter Rubery working with other local schools and helping them rapidly improve was a major motivation to establish the Fallibroome Trust, a multi-academy trust (MAT) in Macclesfield, Cheshire.
The establishment of the MAT in September 2014 coincided with Peter’s 21st year of headship: “The motivation for creating a MAT was driven by moral purpose and a degree of self-interest,” explained Peter, who was head of the lead school, Fallibroome Academy.
“We persuaded our governors that taking a lead role in the school-to-school support agenda was the best way of creating continuous improvement at Fallibroome. It was also the right thing to do for a system where local authorities had a much-diminished role.”
