Schools in this trust 3
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).3 open schools in Greenwich: 1 primary and 2 secondary. 3,564 pupils on roll. 2 of 2 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).
