About Palladian Academy Trust
Palladian Academy Trust, founded in 2016, is a well-established multi-academy trust serving pupils aged 4 to 19 across Bath and Wiltshire. The Trust is built on the principles of connection, collaboration and unity. Our schools serve a range of communities, including both church and non-denominational settings, while retaining their individual identities. By working together as equal partners, the Trust enhances educational outcomes and creates a supportive network that benefits pupils, staff and leaders alike.
As part of Palladian Academy Trust, staff have access to high-quality continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities through collaboration across the Trust's schools. Colleagues benefit from shared expertise, professional learning networks and wider career development opportunities within a larger organisation. Underpinning our vision for education are our values: respect, trust, courage, curiosity. We are committed to our vision to provide excellent and equitable opportunities so everyone can flourish; in our classrooms and beyond!
