About Us

Welcome to Finham Park Multi Academy Trust. I hope you will find all the information you may require here or on our various linked sites. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to learn more about the Trust or are considering joining a Multi Academy Trust.

In March 2015, Finham Park School applied to the Department for Education (DfE) to convert from single Academy Trust status to Multi Academy Trust status. Our Business Plan was accepted by the Department for Education and Finham Park Multi Academy Trust came into existence.

Our intention is to continue to grow a small, Coventry/West Midlands based Multi Academy Trust consisting of several secondary schools in addition to partners in the primary sector. Our vision for Finham Park Multi Academy Trust is outlined in the paragraph below:

“Schools in the Finham Park Multi Academy Trust will set out to pioneer, innovate and deliver a “World Class” education for all children from the age of 3-19 where the artificial barriers of stage and age are removed. Our education will aim to exceed the highest national and international benchmarks for academic achievement, whilst ensuring young people develop a passion for learning in all its contexts and are ready to take their place as active members of our global community.

The schools in Finham Park Multi Academy Trust will seek to move beyond collaboration and into co-construction – ensuring our education is developed with and by all members to reflect the needs of our children, their families and the wider community.”
