MIST is a growing group of independent schools. In recent years the Group has acquired 5 independent schools (two all-through Schools and three preparatory Schools).  MIST is an attractive group of schools because it respects the local contexts in which its schools operate, delegating operational control to the schools while offering support, advice and investment centrally.


The MIST office is based at Methodist Church House.  In addition to servicing the needs of the Trust itself, the office provides opportunities for the schools to work more closely together.  Key elements of this include an annual Schools Conference, termly meetings of Heads and Chairs of Governors, a Chaplains' Conference and specialist day events for other staff e.g. safeguarding, global education, legal and financial guidance.



MIST Trustees are drawn from various professions and offer the Trust considerable experience and commitment. To make enquiries about serving as a Trustee email admin@methodistschools.org.uk.

 



Schools vary in size (Woodhouse Grove School and Truro School have over 1000 pupils, whereas Shebbear College and Kingsley School Bideford have over 300 pupils).  Most schools in the group are co-educational offering continuity of education for both boys and girls.  Some schools (like Kent College Pembury and Truro High School) are for girls only.  The majority of schools also offer a boarding education, further details about day and boarding opportunities are available directly from the schools.

All schools provide financial support to help parents of various backgrounds with the schools fees.  Details of local bursaries and scholarships are available by contacting the schools directly.

In addition to local arrangements, MIST administers a Methodist Bursary Fund which offers specific financial support to children from Methodist families at any senior school within the group.  The Methodist Bursary Fund enables children from Methodist families attend the schools as day pupils or boarders.

 


 

 "I calculate that I have spent over 50 years of my life either studying or teaching in Methodist institutions. That includes eight schools and colleges, here and overseas. So Methodist education is well and truly in my blood, and I am very much aware of how distinctive and how special a Methodist ethos can be. As one of our Chaplains has recently said to me - Methodist schools should be communities whose marks are commitment and transformation. I think that expresses it precisely." The Chair of MIST - The Revd. Dr. John Barrett
