East Midlands Education Trust (EMET) is a partnership of schools originally formed in September 2014. The trust has 23 schools with a tight geographical focus on the counties of Nottinghamshire, Nottingham City, Derbyshire, Derby City  and Leicestershire.  

Our mission is to raise the educational standards and improve the life chances of all the children within our partnership.  Our schools are high performing schools representing the full age range of 3-19, along with an alternative education provider, and place great emphasis on collaborative working across the Trust within a family of schools approach.

Our schools enjoy a high degree of ‘aligned autonomy’ whilst, at the same time, being supported by a central trust team who help ensure our schools provide the highest quality of provision possible.
