About Us

River Tees Multi-Academy Trust is a small but growing Trust in the North East of England serving some of the most disadvantaged communities in the country.

We provide the highest quality education for learners who have struggled within the mainstream schooling system. Children and young people are welcomed in to our academies, regardless of their challenges, past history or additional needs.

They may have been permanently excluded, are at risk of exclusion, have health needs that prevent them attending their usual school or have additional needs that require a specialist placement.

Working for River Tees Multi-Academy Trust takes a special person, someone who thrives off helping others. Someone who is passionate about changing lives. If you are that person, we are that school.

The package we provide gives a wealth of opportunities for a person who wants to pursue a career breaking cycles and changing lives.

We offer a full well-being package, the most amazing family to work with and a career path that you can design.
