About Accordia Academies Trust
Accordia Academies Trust (MAT) was established in April 2022 after the successful conversion of Barrs Court Trust in preparation for the opening of The Beacon College, a Free Special School, in September 2021. In March 2025, Blackmarston School joined the Trust. The Trust has a shared vision - ‘Together we empower and believe to thrive and achieve’.
The Trust Board is determined to see a high performing and successful Multi-Academy Trust that delivers the very best educational experience for the pupils and students attending our schools and college. Our schools and college play a key role in the community by offering our children and young people opportunities to grow and thrive, academically, socially and emotionally. We want our children and young people to be confident, resilient and as independent as possible
At the heart of our vision is the drive to provide outstanding, high-quality education for SEND in our locality. Our schools work closely with each other and with other schools, colleges and education providers, external professional agencies and the Local Authority to achieve this. The MAT Board will be open to further schools, especially specialist settings wishing to join us in our journey.
