Palladian Academy Trust is a strong Trust based in Bath and Wiltshire that offers education from 4-19. We are proud that our schools serve different communities, some are church schools, some are non-denominational, but together we know we are better placed to ensure our pupils have the best educational experience.
The Trust was established in 2016 and is named after a local landmark, The Palladian Bridge in Prior Park, a symbol of connection and unity.
As a Trust, we know that each of our schools has its own distinctiveness and each one brings different strengths as an equal partner. While we recognise what each school has to offer individually, we also work together at the same time, to maximise the benefits of being part of a larger network and organisation. Being part of a Trust gives our colleagues access to high quality professional development opportunities, gives our pupils the chance to interact with others from different schools and provides challenge and support to Trust and school leaders through effective governance.
We are proud to work in partnership with our Local Authorities of BANES and Wiltshire, our two Dioceses of Bath and Wells and Salisbury as well as other local and regional partners.
Underpinning our vision for education are our values: respect, trust, courage, curiosity. We are a values-driven organisation, committed to our vision to provide excellent and equitable opportunities for all; in our classrooms and beyond!
