Strong, sustainable, successful schools

SEARCH Education Trust was established in May 2013 as Heartlands Community Trust when Heartlands High School converted into an academy. In July 2021 we adopted SEARCH Education Trust as our name, and developed our vision and principles which celebrate our origins whilst opening up a shared space for other schools or Trusts to join us in co-creating a bright and supportive future together in the contemporary educational landscape where all schools are being encouraged to join together in the pursuit of excellence.

SEARCH Education Trust comprises two academies, Heartlands High School (Secondary) and The Grove School (Special School)

This is an exciting time to join our trust as we look towards the next stage of our growth and development. We are always looking for like-minded individuals to join us on our journey.
