Partnership Opportunities

Working Together to Strengthen Education

At Place Partnership, we believe that collaboration is the key to delivering excellent education and creating lasting impact for children, families and communities. As a growing multi academy trust, we welcome conversations with schools and trusts who share our vision and are exploring the benefits of joining a strong, values-driven partnership.

Why Join Place Partnership?

Place Partnership has been formed through a successful merger of two established trusts, bringing together experience, capacity and a shared commitment to improving life chances for all. Our model is built on partnership, not prescription, ensuring that every school retains its identity while benefiting from collective strength.

By joining our Trust, schools gain access to:

A collaborative network of primary and secondary academies

Strong educational leadership and school improvement support

High-quality central services across finance, HR, estates, Marketing, IT and governance

Professional development opportunities for staff at all levels

Shared expertise and best practice across a wider partnership

Improved long-term sustainability and resilience

A Partnership of Equals

We understand that every school and trust has its own unique identity, strengths and community context. Our approach is rooted in respect and collaboration, we work alongside partners to build a shared future that enhances what already exists, rather than replacing it.

Our recent formation demonstrates our commitment to a merger of equals, where values, culture and ambition are aligned to create something stronger together.
