Join Us
Bring your strengths. Grow with ours.
Partnership is not about changing identities, but strengthening them.
We want to grow a local family of strong schools that share our ambition for young people while retaining the character, expertise and identity that make each school successful.
Our approach to growth is based on partnership, not prescription.
We are interested in what a school can bring to Burntwood Trust just as much as what the Trust can bring to that school.
When schools join us, they become part of a collaborative professional community while retaining the autonomy to respond to the particular needs of their pupils and local community.
Stronger through collaboration
Being part of Burntwood Trust creates opportunities to:
- share expertise, good practice and specialist knowledge across schools;
- develop Trust-wide professional and leadership networks;
- access strong central governance, financial and operational support;
- strengthen SEND and inclusive practice;
- create wider opportunities for pupils and staff;
- develop leadership and career pathways;
- achieve greater value through shared resources, services and facilities.
Most importantly, we don't seek to change the identity of successful schools. Our approach is to understand their strengths, learn from them and explore how those strengths can contribute to the wider Trust.
Local relationships matter
Our growth strategy is deliberately focused on Wandsworth and neighbouring local authorities. Geographic proximity enables meaningful collaboration, school-to-school support and strong relationships between our academies and central team.
