About Us
At The Pilgrim Multi Academy Trust, children are at the heart of everything we do. Every decision we make is guided by our commitment to providing the very best opportunities and outcomes for the children in our care.
We believe in nurturing environments where both children and adults can flourish. Across our Trust:
- Creative thinking is encouraged and celebrated, leading to those memorable "Wow!" moments in learning.
- Collaboration is at the heart of our success, with schools and colleagues working together as one team.
- Learning environments are stimulating, inspiring and designed to help every child thrive.
- Professional development is tailored to the needs of both staff and pupils, ensuring continual growth and excellence.
- Contributions are recognised and valued, fostering a culture of appreciation and support.
- Pupils and adults alike are encouraged to behave with courtesy, respect and Christian compassion.
As a Trust, we are committed to continuous improvement. New opportunities, including career progression and leadership development, are actively sought for staff across all our schools. Through collaboration with colleagues across the Trust, staff benefit from professional networking, wellbeing initiatives, peer support, quality assurance and lasting friendships.
If you are looking for a place where you can make a difference, develop professionally and be part of a supportive community, we would love to meet you.
The Pilgrim Multi Academy Trust is a family of Church of England primary schools united by a shared commitment to putting children first.
Our Trust vision is captured in our strapline:
"Learning is a Life's Journey; Children Should Travel First Class."
Our Christian foundation is rooted in John 10:10, where Jesus says:
"I have come in order that you might have life-life in all its fullness."
This belief shapes everything we do. We seek to provide an education that develops the whole child - academically, emotionally, socially and spiritually.
Our schools span the neighbouring local authorities of Kent and Medway, enabling us to combine the benefits of close collaboration with the personal touch of a smaller Trust.
Each school has its own distinctive character and strengths:
- St Mark's Church of England Primary School is a joyous, welcoming rural school with strong community roots.
- St Margaret's at Troy Town Church of England Primary School sits at the heart of historic Rochester and serves a diverse community.
- The Pilgrim School brings together the best of both village and urban educational experiences.
- Rochester Riverside Church of England Primary School is our newest school, established to serve the growing Rochester Riverside community, and we are proud to support its continued growth and success.
Together, our schools share expertise, resources and a commitment to excellence while maintaining the individuality and character that make each one special.
