About Us
Hamstead Hall Academy Trust was formed in 2013 and currently consists of two academies: Hamstead Hall Academy, an 11-18 secondary and Grestone Academy, a two-form primary academy with a nursery taking children from ages 2-11.
The strategic aim of the Trust is to provide the very best for our students within our academies. Our Trust is committed to providing vibrant learning environments where our students are happy, safe and supported to achieve strong educational outcomes. We are a welcoming Trust who place a high priority on full inclusion. Our academies serve a very diverse cohort of students. Hamstead Hall Academy Trust aims to provide high quality education in our academies which will enable all our students to realise their full potential.
At Hamstead Hall Academy Trust, our vision is to create a collaborative learning community where we work together to educate, support and inspire our students and staff to be the best they can be through the pursuit of excellence in everything we do.
A key objective for the Trust is to create an environment where staff and students can thrive. Our improvement priorities have been designed to have a significant impact on the quality of teaching and learning, removing barriers to achievement and enhancing educational outcomes. The Trust has a rigorous Quality Assurance Programme with external validation to ensure its processes and outcomes are of a consistently high quality. We aim to deliver consistently outstanding professional learning and enhanced career opportunities for the staff in our academies.
The Trust is outward facing working with many local and national partner for the benefit of our students and staff. These partnerships are an active part of the Trust’s academy improvement strategy.
All Academies within The Hamstead Hall Multi Academy Trust are governed by one Trust (the Members) and a board of Directors. Governance of the Trust is supported by local governing bodies for each academy. The Hamstead Hall Academy Trust holds ultimate responsibility for all decisions regarding the running of the individual Academies. However, whilst finance, HR, estates, ICT, admissions and marketing are managed centrally, the Hamstead Hall Academy Trust delegates decisions relating to the curriculum and learning and teaching to the local governing bodies of the individual Academies. This ensures that academies within the Trust can retain their individuality. Opportunities are given to share best practice and to participate in shared opportunities for professional development.
