About us
The Trust began life as a federation of two Secondary Academies, The Hastings Academy and The St Leonards Academy, which opened their doors to students in September 2011. These are now innovative new schools with 21st century facilities, skilled staff and exciting new ways of teaching to ensure every student achieves their very best. Both our secondary academies have recently been inspected by Ofsted and judged to be Good (the second highest category).

As an organisation, the Trust has recently expanded to include seven local primary Academies.

The University of Brighton is our lead sponsor, providing expertise in education and a wealth of experience alongside a passion for working with the communities of Hastings and St Leonards. The University has a long-standing investment in Hastings and St Leonards, where it has an expanding campus and student body.

In partnership with Sussex Coast College Hastings, the University is committed to developing programmes that ensure access to further and higher education for our students and their families.

The Trust’s co-sponsors are BT, one of the world’s leading communication providers, and East Sussex County Council. They provide expertise and resources which bring enormous benefit to our students and staff. BT, in particular, affords a link between the academies and the business community by creating opportunities for older students to learn social and business skills essential in the world of work.
