Across the piece, GMAT currently has just under 3,000 students in its care and employs just under 400 staff. The MAT also operates nursery provision on the Goffs-Churchgate site, with subsidised and term-time only places for staff, run by Ashbourne Nurseries - https://ashbournedaynurseries.com/.
All of the schools are situated within close proximity of each other in Cheshunt, and share many activities, including CPD for staff. One of the Trust’s fundamental principles is that no one school or phase is in any way more important or successful than the other.
