Multi Academy Trust Information

ODBST comprises of a network of schools that are part of a forward-thinking and driven Trust. The Trust's dedicated shared services team offers tailored assistance to their school’s including financial support and planning, bespoke staff training, estate management and specialised HR advice.

Each of our schools has a unique character of its own and we work to ensure that our vision embraces all our pupils and adults, regardless of background and belief. We do this drawing on our 4 core values:

INCLUSIVITY - COMMUNITY - SERVICE - EMPOWERMENT

We aspire for every pupil and adult to ‘experience life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10)

St John's Church of England Primary School is proud to be an academy that is part of the Oxford Diocesan Bucks School Trust, (ODBST) - a multi academy trust (MAT).  Under the requirements of the Educational Funding Agency and the Academies Financial Handbook, we are required to publish key information about ODBST on our school website.

The Oxford Diocesan Bucks Schools Trust is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England No.10943040 at Church House Oxford Langford Locks Kidlington Oxford OX5 1GF, and is an exempt charity.
