Eden Academy Trust
The Eden Academy Trust specialises in meeting the educational needs of children and young adults with a range of learning disabilities including those who are autistic and those who have physical or sensory needs.
George Hastwell is the fourth school to join the Trust's northern hub of schools. Two of the others, James Rennie School in Carlisle and Hexham Priory School in Hexham, Northumberland, also serve pupils aged from Early Years to Sixth Form with severe and profound and multiple learning difficulties. Both schools received their third or fourth successive ‘outstanding’ judgement from Ofsted in 2023. Branthwaite Academy based in Workington, joined the Trust in autumn 2023.
Children at the heart of everything
Eden places children at the heart of everything it does, it is a place where parents and carers can look to the future with optimism and confidence and where staff feel their skills and their careers are developed like nowhere else.
