Join Our Trust
Redhill Academy Trust is a family of like-minded schools. We welcome approaches from schools wishing to discuss joining our Trust.

We will not actively seek or persuade schools to join us, but if you have heard about us and would like to see or know more, then please don’t hesitate to contact our CEO and Trust Principal, Andrew Burns, for a conversation on 0115 926 1481 or by emailing TrustOffice@theredhillacademy.org.uk

Due Diligence Process
There are many reasons why school leaders may decide to explore whether joining a multi academy trust is right for them. Our Due Diligence Process document is not aimed at the benefits or drawbacks of the academies programme in general, it is about finding out whether joining our family of schools is right for you. During this process we would urge you to seek answers to some of the following key questions:
- How will your children, staff and parents benefit from joining Redhill Academy Trust?
- Do our values and ethos fit with your own?
- What can you bring to the trust to improve the life chances of all our students?
