Page | 58 c. Growth Strategy? ODBST is growing its membership because of: 1. The growing reputation and attraction for schools of ODBST considering becoming an academy 2. The education in local authority services 3. The Regional Director’s (RD’s) provision of sponsored capacity for ODBST and statement of confidence in the trust as a capacity giver within the local system. 4. Active and effective marketing 5. Unlimited 1:1 telephone and email access to advice from an experienced ODBST Shared Services Team which include specialist Safeguarding and SEND support. Current regional structures allow us to consider schools in 4 geographical hubs: • Hub 1 – Great Horwood, Padbury, Christ the Sower • Hub 2 – St John’s Lacey Green, Longwick, Downley • Hub 3 – Thomas Harding, St Mary’s Aylesbury, Elmtree, • Hub 4 – Chesham Bois, Woodside Junior, Curzon Other applications which do not support this model will need careful consideration on the supporting structures and capacity of the MAT to take on additional geographical structures and direct permission from the RD/DfE.
