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, Saffron Academy Trust has grown and now comprises Saffron Walden County High School, Katherine Semar Schools and R A Butler Academy in Saffron Walden, Alec Hunter Academy and Beckers Green Primary School in Braintree, Honywood School in Coggeshall, and Helena Romanes School in Great Dunmow, which is an all-through school. 
 

 

SAT in numbers

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, we provide 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.
