Become part of the Windsor Academy Trust family

We exist for one simple moral purpose - to unlock academic and personal potential.

We want our children to have a love and passion for learning, aspire and become all and more than they ever thought they could be. By developing high-performing schools that raise aspirations, inspire learning, build character and cultural capital, and power social mobility, our students can thrive and make a difference in their communities and the world.

Our family has grown to 15 schools delivering excellent education to 10,000 children aged two to 18, driven by 1,300 committed, inspiring and talented staff. Underpinned by five shared values, we work collaboratively to achieve our moral purpose.

We want to support more schools by welcoming them to be part of the WAT family.
