About The Charter Schools Educational Trust

Type
Multi-academy trust

The Trust has grown exponentially in the past five years, from two secondary schools in March 2020 to what is now a multi academy trust which includes five primary and three secondary schools, including sixth form provision. Alongside this we are home to a growing number of teacher development and school improvement organisations that support schools and teachers across South London, the south east and sometimes nationally.

We continue to grow our impact not only through our schools’ great work, but also via our Charter Institute. The Institute leads the work of our Teaching School Hub, Behaviour Hub, Flexible Working Ambassador School, Challenge Partners Hub, Research School and Early Years Stronger Practice hub. We believe all children and young people should attend a great school with great teachers, and we help schools on their journey to achieving and sustaining excellence.
