Schools in this trust 37
iSchools: Get Information about Schools (DfE), open schools in England; Ofsted management information; governors from DfE governance records. DfE records this company number for the trust in Get Information about Schools (groups data, October 2026).37 open schools in 11 local authorities: 20 primary, 14 secondary, 2 all-through and 1 special. 23,582 pupils on roll. 15 of 20 with a one-word grade at their last graded inspection were Good or Outstanding (report-card and key-judgement inspections give no one-word grade and are not counted; a school whose latest inspection was ungraded is counted at its last graded inspection, which may be several years old and can be a predecessor school's grade where Ofsted records one, so the share mixes inspection years - each school page gives its inspection date).

Built from the corporate people with significant control records matched to UK companies (Companies House, Open Government Licence v3.0; ownership graph of 19 September 2026). Control is shown as the nature of control the controller declared; the group count includes only active majority holdings (more than 50%), so holdings of 25-50% are drawn but not counted. Overseas parents that are not on the UK register appear only when a company names them.
