Aquinas was founded in 2013 by a small group of neighbouring Church of England schools in the London Borough of Bromley. Since then, our transformative approach to education has expanded into Kent and East Sussex.

We are an inclusive multi-academy trust: home to academies with Church of England designation and Community schools alike. Working in partnership with local authorities, dioceses, and other education trusts, we now provide school improvement services across south-east England.

Since our first primary and secondary schools came together, a further nine schools have joined us. We now run eleven academies, with over 700 colleagues, and almost 5000 children and young people in our care.
