Who We Are

We are the Special Partnership Trust – a specialist Multi-Academy Trust made up of schools and Area Resource Bases (ARBs) across the South West and beyond. Founded in 2016, we exist to raise the bar and redefine what’s possible for children and young people with special educational needs.

What Makes Us Different

Unlike most trusts, we focus exclusively on specialist education. It’s our passion, our purpose, and our strength. Everything we do is grounded in practice, collaboration, and a commitment to doing what’s right – not just what’s easy.

Our Values in Action

Our schools are places of care, creativity, and courage. We believe in inclusion, empowerment, and transparency. We celebrate diversity, tailor our approach to each learner, and go the extra mile to unlock potential and nurture lifelong confidence.
