The Oxford Diocesan Bucks Schools Trust (ODBST) is a Diocesan Multi Academy Trust established in September 2017 to provide an option for any school across the Buckingham Episcopal area (which covers Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes) seeking a MAT solution, this includes primary and secondary; VA, VC or community schools.

ODBST is a charitable company. No one can make any money from the company. The company is limited by guarantee. It does not pay dividends and makes no profit. The company is linked to the Diocese of Oxford through the appointment of its Members, who are all volunteers, acting as the ‘owners’ of the company.

The Trust continues to benefit from all the support and training available from the Diocese through the SLA.

ODBST is rooted in Christian values; it is committed to educational excellence and celebrates the calling to serve pupils, staff, parents and the local community. Each school within the Trust is understood to have its own unique qualities, which it is supported to continue to deliver.

In ODBST, decisions about schools are made by the local governing body, who are accountable to the Board of Trustees. Schools are supported through a combination of high quality school improvement support and partnership working across the Trust.
