Affiliate Membership Programme

We offer an affiliate membership where we can tailor bespoke support packages for your school or Trust. For example, you may want Payroll and Health & Safety assistance but nothing else at this point.

Joining Penk Valley as an affiliate member is a step towards full membership, providing the opportunity to experience being part of the team from day one.

We can tailor the support packages, offering the following benefits as part of the membership:

• Headteachers will be invited to attend Leadership meetings, either in person or virtually.
• We will join at least one of your Governors’ meetings per year.
• Your Chair of Governors will be invited to the Chair of Governors meeting, where they can connect with Chairs from across the Trust.
• We will provide a review report and action plan covering Finance, Estates, Health & Safety, IT, HR, and Governance.

From 1st September 2025, Penk Valley Academy Trust will be working in affiliation with Walton MAT. Walton MAT consists of two Stafford High Schools, Walton High School and King Edward VI High School, and we look forward to providing their Central Services including, but not limited to, finance, payroll and staff recruitment along with support in HR, Health & Safety and Estates. We look forward to working collaboratively, sharing best practice and procurement efficiencies for the benefit of all our stakeholders.
