St Barnabas CE First and Middle School is part of the Elements Diocesan Learning Trust.

DoWMAT Schools Pre-merge
On 1 September 2026, the Diocese of Worcester Multi Academy Trust (DoWMAT) merged with Elements Diocesan Learning Trust to form a single organisation: Elements Diocesan Learning Trust.

As a result, references on this website to DoWMAT relate to the Trust's former name. During this transition period, some documents, policies and website content may continue to display DoWMAT branding while they are reviewed and updated.

The merger has created a larger family of schools, with five additional schools joining the Trust. This brings new opportunities for collaboration, shared expertise and school improvement, while allowing each school to retain its unique identity and place within its local community.

Our school continues to benefit from the support and opportunities of being part of the Trust, whose vision is "Flourishing together, in the love of God," underpinned by the values of Love, Learning and Service, lived out through Collaboration, Honesty and Hope.

The Trust website is also currently being updated to reflect the merger and new branding. During this transition period, Trust-wide policies and key information can be accessed via the current Trust website: www.dowmat.education. Policies, branding and website content will be harmonised and updated over time across all schools and Trust platforms.

We appreciate your understanding as we update our materials to reflect our new name and identity: Elements Diocesan Learning Trust
