About North West Academies Trust (NWAT)

At North West Academies Trust we specialise in providing high quality education. Based in Chester, we are a multi-academy trust, consisting of 12 primary and secondary schools across Cheshire and Shropshire. The Trust is run by a group of educators with specialist knowledge of the academy, independent and international education sectors, all of whom are passionate about supporting schools and helping to create centres of excellence. NWAT intends to grow strategically with the addition of other schools within the radius of Chester. Each school joining the Trust will benefit from becoming an associate school of St Martin's Academy and Delamere C of E Academy, who share key services with NWAT schools. Our aim is to work with a range of primary schools in a range of social contexts and create a network of schools - both within the Trust and as associate schools - where mutual support and expertise is at the heart of everything we achieve. NWAT will also seek to work in partnership with other local Trusts that may lack the relevant experience and knowledge of the Primary sector. As an organisation we pride ourselves on our: • A proven track record of success in the academy, free school, independent and international education sectors • Strong financial credibility and sustainability • Highly effective and supportive governance • Core marketing strategy • Key school improvement focus • Strong data-driven approach to understanding weakness and identifying areas of improvement • Effective outsourcing and use of key professional services • Visionary and effective project management and school growth expertise NWAT is an organisation built on strong foundations, allowing us to expand and welcome new schools with ease, never losing focus on our core commitment of excellence in education.
