March 2025 update
The Federated Governing Body made the decision in March 2025 that Manor Mead and Walton Leigh schools will apply to transfer to academy status and join the London South East Academies Trust (LSEAT) during the 2025-2026 academic year. Please see attached letter for more information.
April 2024 announcement
As an Associate Member of LSEAT, the Federation will have the opportunity to explore in detail the potential benefits of being part of their organisation. This will include considering the range of central services that they provide such as HR and Finance as well as enabling us to look at shared CPD and curriculum development opportunities etc. There is no commitment for Manor Mead and Walton Leigh to formally join LSEAT as Academies at this stage but this is something that may happen in the future if this would be of benefit to the pupils and staff.
