Welcome from the Chief Executive Officer
West Midlands Academy Trust (WMAT) is a trust of three schools, Hall Green School, Kings Norton Girls’ School and Swanshurst School. WMAT was founded in January 2025 and the trust focuses on delivering high-quality education, personal development, collaboration, accountability and financial sustainability.
At the heart of our trust is our vision: “Achieving more together.” This vision drives everything we do, as we work to equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to thrive academically, socially, and personally — not only during their time in school, but also in the workplace and in life.
We understand the importance of respecting individual school identities, as schools know their communities best. As a trust we adopt a strategic approach that is responsive to the needs of each school, we recognise that one size does not fit all as we look towards future opportunities.
