About Arden Multi Academy Trust

As Arden Multi Academy Trust (AMAT) we truly value the success of every child and we place the sharing of excellent education practice at the core of this value. We are committed to improving the quality of education and life in Solihull and its immediate surroundings. Our academies have common values and core operational systems, which are applied locally, adapted to individual context and needs. By this simple expedient each academy retains its own local governing body, identity and individuality. The young adults who leave our care are prepared for the next stage of their education and are ready and confident to move forward in life. The Trust started with our belief in high quality and dynamic education for everyone, right in the heart of our community. Formed in April 2015 it has a clear vision to generate self-belief, self-worth, esteem and confidence in young people who can then display ambition and aspiration in achieving high educational outcomes. The Trust started life when Arden, an outstandingly successful and innovative school was asked to support Park Hall Academy in the north of Solihull in 2009. This was a ‘light touch’ relationship and, following the academy moving into special measures in November 2013, Arden took over the governance, leadership and management of Park Hall. This new relationship saw the creation of Arden Multi-Academy Trust (AMAT). Joint working in a spirit of enthusiastic partnership has seen Park Hall develop into an Academy which is now an oversubscribed secondary school. In January 2018 Lode Heath School, a popular secondary school in Solihull, also became part of the Trust, followed quickly by Henley in Arden School in 2019. In 2022 the Trust consists of four secondary schools providing education to approximately 5000 students with further plans to expand. Arden Academy leads the increasingly popular Arden Teaching Alliance which currently consists of five Primary and five Secondary partner schools.
