About the Trust

Saffron Academy Trust (SAT) was formed in 2011 when its founder school, Saffron Walden County High School, converted to academy status.

Since then SAT has grown and now comprises Saffron Walden County High School, Katherine Semar Junior and Infant schools and R A Butler Junior and Infant schools in Saffron Walden, Alec Hunter Academy and Beckers Green Primary School in Braintree, Honywood School in Coggeshall, and Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre in Great Dunmow.

The Trust also encompasses The Saffron Teaching School Hub, one of the first Teaching School Hubs to be designated nationally. Through the Hub and an extensive range of collaborative partnerships, the Trust provides support to a number of other primary and secondary schools.  One key aspect of the support we provide is to deliver high quality CPD focused both on classroom practice and leadership development.

Further information can be found on the Trust’s website at www.saffron.academy.
