Multi Academy Trust
We are fully committed to growth, collaboration and innovation to secure an outstanding future for our school community and for every student in our care.
We are currently a ‘stand-alone’ Multi Academy Trust (MAT):
Iris Academy Trust
We value the opportunity to share our expertise and look to continually learn and further develop our practice by working alongside others. We actively seek opportunities to work in partnership and collaboration with other specialist provision for the mutual benefit of our students, their families and our staff teams. Our overriding objective is to improve the outcomes and life chances for every student at Carwarden and where we can help those of SEND pupils in other local school settings.
Our long-term aim is to be an influential partner within a larger MAT and we have been looking at opportunities for this by either growing the Iris Academy Trust or joining another existing MAT, ideally with a strong commitment to special schools.
We believe that being or becoming part of a larger and successful MAT would deliver economies of scale, give us greater financial sustainability for the future and minimize the potential risks of being an isolated school on our own.
LSEAT Consultation
We are currently consulting on becoming an associate member of LSEAT (London South East Academy Trust) which we believe could meet all the criteria we set for a partnership and help to ensure Carwarden's continued development and secure its long-term sustainability.
