Welcome Message
Welcome to Astrum Multi Academy Trust
Welcome and thank you for visiting our website. Astrum is currently made up of 2 academies, split across 4 school sites. We cater for pupils aged 2-19 who have a range of severe and complex special educational needs and disabilities.
“We believe that every pupil has the ability to achieve and live a fulfilling life and that we, as educators, have the knowledge and resources to make this happen.”
Astrum Multi Academy Trust is a unique community, formed by forward-thinking leaders who were keen to maintain and expand specialist provision for pupils who were most in need of dedicated SEND resources and teaching & learning expertise.
Since forming the trust in 2017, we have expanded our special school places, developed our specialist services and formed a SEND post-16 provision with an ever increasing need to grow these provisions in line with local demand.

🚴🏻 Kevin Johnson Takes on Two of the UK’s Toughest Cycling Challenges to Support Our Pupils
Kevin Johnson, Site Manager at Hatchside Junior and Infant Schools, is undertaking a significant personal cycling challenge to raise funds in support of children across Astrum Multi Academy Trust.
Kevin will be completing two demanding endurance cycling events, raising money for the Parents and Friends Associations at Newbridge and Hatchside. Funds raised will help provide additional resources and equipment that directly benefit pupils.
Supporters who donate will also be able to track Kevin’s progress on the day of each ride, following his journey as he completes the challenges.
We are grateful to Kevin for his commitment and to everyone who chooses to support this fundraising effort.
