Greenwood Academies Trust

The Greenwood Academies Trust (GAT) is a not-for-profit educational organisation. Any income received is spent for the benefit of our pupils.We successfully sponsor 35 open academies, educating over 17,000 pupils across seven local authority areas, including Nottingham City, Nottinghamshire, Leicester City, Northamptonshire, Peterborough, Lincolnshire and Central Bedfordshire.Our academies are led by outstanding Principals. Whilst working to achieve our organisational core values, each Principal is free to develop the curriculum and structures within their own academy to best serve their community. The Trust does not impose a standard central curriculum or structure. We have created a Trust where each academy can evolve individually, developing best practice that can be shared both within the Trust and more widely. Within the Trust we have 35 academies and have successfully opened six brand new provision schools, which include three Primary Schools, two new Special Schools and a Secondary School. The Trust has also recently had another Free School application approved to open a new two form entry Primary Free School in Nottingham. We pride ourselves on engaging with local communities, our pupils and business partners to ensure a new academy can deliver the expectations of their key stakeholders. We are experienced in delivering high quality school buildings and successfully opening new schools, which is consistently recognised by Ofsted. The Trust has recently been ranked as one of the best performing primary Multi-Academy Trusts according to Ofsted ratings for primary schools.
