SAND Academies Trust

The trust was formed in 2019 to enable and develop partnerships working across a group of schools. The Trust now consists of six schools, Belmont School, Battledown Centre for Children and Families, Paternoster School, Sladewood Academy, The Milestone School and Willow Primary Academy. Each school will maintain its own unique ethos, culture and identity that has been established over many years to ensure the needs of pupils are met. As a partnership we will achieve more together and therefore: - Improve outcomes, opportunities and life chances our pupils - Offer more / wider support for their families - Share and develop staff expertise We will continue working to grow our Academy Trust to include converting schools who share our vision and aims and who wish to be part of a new and exciting Trust. We will respect the individual identity of each school whilst providing opportunities for sharing good practice and expertise to benefit our children, young people and families
