We were inspected by Ofsted in July 2013 and were judged to be outstanding in all areas. In July 2015 we converted to a multi academy trust (MAT) as we felt strongly that single academies needed to work in collaboration with other schools. The Trust is called Kings Academy Trust.
Since becoming a Multi Academy Trust, we have had several schools join our trust. We now have 4 schools across Salford and Warrington local authority, Kings Academy Trust also have a free school due to open in Salford authority in September 2025.

Due to the success and demand for the programme we are looking to extend our counselling programme and enhance our offering.
We are excited to now be in a position to offer placements to counselling students looking to build their counselling practice hours.

Arbour Academy (Eccles), Moss Valley Primary Academy (Irlam) and Kassia Academy and Orford Jubile (Warrington).
