Welcome from the Chair of the Trust Board

On behalf of our Trust Board, I am delighted to welcome you to the new website for TMPF Trust, a family of 14 schools in the Staffordshire Moorlands and East Staffordshire. The Moorlands Primary Federation (TMPF) was originally formed by three rural schools joining together to collaborate and support one another. Today, we are an established Multi Academy Trust, which has seen the benefits of working collaboratively for more than a decade, all with the aim of providing the best educational experience for the pupils within our schools.

Eleven of our Trust schools are proudly Anglican and cherish their links with the church. However, all of our schools we all share the same values of Trust, Mindful, Peace and Friendship, and all share the same commitment to supporting children’s learning and helping them to flourish. We hope that you enjoy finding out more about our family of 14 schools through our website, and if you are thinking of a school for your child, we would encourage you to contact the schools directly and arrange to come to visit us.

Mr L. Yates Chair of Trustees

Welcome from the CEO

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. It is a privilege to serve more than one thousand children and their families as CEO of the TMPF Trust. I am equally proud to work alongside an exceptional team of staff across our fourteen schools. Every day, they demonstrate unwavering commitment, enthusiasm, and expertise to ensure our children flourish. Our schools are supported by a dedicated and conscientious Trust Board, whose oversight and passion help drive our shared vision. Each school sits at the heart of its community, and we recognise not only the vital role our schools play in serving their communities, but also the invaluable support we receive in return.

The Trust began as a small collaboration of two schools in 2012 and has grown organically as like minded schools and their communities have chosen to work together, united by a desire to provide ever improving educational provision. I am proud that each of our schools maintains its own unique character—just like our children—yet all share a fundamental belief: that every child deserves the opportunity to flourish and reach their full potential, whatever that may be.

TMPF Values

Trust

Trust lies at the heart of all relationships. By trusting in God we ourselves become trustworthy just as He is.

Psalm 20:7
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Mindful

Being mindful of others leads to a heart of compassion; compassion leads to a desire to act for the good of all.

Peter 3:8
Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers and sisters, be compassionate and humble.

Peace

Peace and harmony lead to a stable and secure community where all are nurtured and can flourish.

Matthew 5:19
'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.'

Friendship

Barriers are broken down in a loving, friendly community based around God.

Ecclesiastes 4:10
‘if one falls down, a friend can lift him up’.
