Organisation

The academies within the trust are clustered into four geographical regions:

  1. East Coast
  2. Northamptonshire / Central Bedfordshire
  3. Nottingham / Leicester
  4. Peterborough

Each region has a liaising advisor. Individual schools do not have local governing bodies but advisory panels.

A Central Team operates across the trust providing support services for finance, ICT, procurement, human resources, catering, data, curriculum development, staff development, health and safety. Schools have control of 94.5% of their budget: the Central Team budget is 5.5%. [2]

Cancelled projects

Waterside Primary Academy

Waterside Primary Academy was a planned Free School with academy status located in the city of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire, England. Plans for the school were announced in 2020, with planning permission approved in 2023. [5] [6] It was planned to have capacity for 210 children, with a capacity for 30 nursery aged children. [7] Waterside Primary Academy was built at a total cost of £11.5 million. [8]

Waterside Primary Academy was planned to open in September 2024, but this date was missed and the opening date was delayed until the following year. [9] Funding for Waterside Primary Academy from the department for Education was pulled in December 2024 due to the low number of applications for places at the school. [7]

In January 2025 it was announced that Greenwood Academies Trust had dropped plans to open Waterside Primary Academy. [7] In March 2025 it was announced that former school buildings would be used to expand Rosehill specialist School, with a planned opening date for the expanded specialist school of 2026. [10]
