Weydon Multi Academy Trust is a thriving and growing community of 18 schools and a sixth form college across Southwest Surrey and Northeast Hampshire, alongside our Trust SCITT, i2i, which plays a vital role in developing the next generation of teachers. While each school retains its own distinctive identity and community feel, we are united by shared values and a collective commitment to excellence for every child and young person we serve.
Our schools are a force for good within their respective communities delivering positive outcomes. Our finances are strong despite funding challenges and our estates are well maintained with a regular programme of innovative capital works taking place across all our schools. We are the largest employer in the area and therefore have a responsibility to our staff to ensure they are looked after and enjoy being part of our organisation. The Trust is at an exciting point in its development as we move into a new phase of growth across the Secondary, Primary and Special sectors. You will find more details about the nature and successes of the Trust on our website http://www.weydonmat.co.uk/.
