Greenwood Academies Trust

The Greenwood Academies Trust is a large multi-academy trust in England, centred around the Nottingham Academy, which was formerly the Greenwood Dale School. There are 34 academies within the trust, educating over 17,000 pupils.

Organisation

The academies within the trust are clustered into four geographical regions:

  1. East Coast
  2. Northamptonshire / Central Bedfordshire
  3. Nottingham / Leicester
  4. Peterborough

Each region has a liaising advisor. Individual schools do not have local governing bodies but advisory panels.

A Central Team operates across the trust providing support services for finance, ICT, procurement, human resources, catering, data, curriculum development, staff development, health and safety. Schools have control of 94.5% of their budget: the Central Team budget is 5.5%.

Cancelled projects

Waterside Primary Academy

Waterside Primary Academy was a planned Free School with academy status located in the city of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire, England. Plans for the school were announced in 2020, with planning permission approved in 2023. It was planned to have capacity for 210 children, with a capacity for 30 nursery aged children. Waterside Primary Academy was built at a total cost of £11.5 million.

Waterside Primary Academy was planned to open in September 2024, but this date was missed and the opening date was delayed until the following year. Funding for Waterside Primary Academy from the department for Education was pulled in December 2024 due to the low number of applications for places at the school.

In January 2025 it was announced that Greenwood Academies Trust had dropped plans to open Waterside Primary Academy. In March 2025 it was announced that former school buildings would be used to expand Rosehill specialist School, with a planned opening date for the expanded specialist school of 2026.
