ElmWey Learning Trust is a multi-academy trust operating two secondary schools in Elmbridge.
The Trust was set up as a multi-academy trust in September 2015. Its initial focus was on ensuring that the single academy at its core, Heathside Weybridge, maintained its status as a high-performing school and put in place the necessary governance and financial structures needed to meet statutory and other Government requirements; and on developing its vision of how the Trust should develop. Heathside Walton-on-Thames, an 11-16 six form entry academy, opened to new Year 7 in September 2022, in a temporary building on the permanent site. The school will move into its permanent building in September 2023.
