IMPACT MULTI ACADEMY TRUST

What IMPACT MULTI ACADEMY TRUST does

Impact Multi Academy Trust (IMAT) is a UK charitable Multi Academy Trust that delivers state-funded primary and secondary education to students aged 5-18 across eight schools in the London Borough of Bromley. Formed in 2022 through the merger of two predecessor trusts (Impact Multi Academy Trust and Langley Park Learning Trust), the trust currently operates three primary schools (Clare House Primary School, Hawes Down Primary School, Langley Park Primary School) and five secondary schools (Hayes School, Langley Park School for Boys, Langley Park School for Girls, Ravens Wood School, and Darrick Wood School, which joined on 1 April 2025). Core delivery occurs on school sites; the trust's stated technology stack comprises standard educational platforms — Microsoft Sway for termly newsletters and YouTube for video content — with no proprietary technology or AI products disclosed.

IMAT's commercial offering extends beyond classroom teaching into educator workforce development: Bromley Schools Collegiate provides primary and secondary teacher training pathways, the Impact ECT Cluster delivers structured support for Early Career Teachers, and a Professional Development Programme serves existing staff. Trust-level differentiation rests on a multi-school governance model that enables shared central services, collaborative professional development, and Ofsted-rated outcomes (Outstanding at Clare House and Hayes; Good at Langley Park Primary and Langley Park School for Boys as of late 2024). Recent activity includes a published Trust Strategy 2025-2030 and a 2025 consultation on admission arrangements for 2027-2028.

IMAT's revenue model is single-channel and state-funded: the trust receives per-pupil grants from the Department for Education via the local authority, with no tuition fees charged to families. The trust is a registered non-profit, governed by a Board of Trustees, with no external equity investors or parent company disclosed. Customer segments are families in the Bromley catchment and aspiring/current teachers; geographic scope is strictly domestic (England), concentrated entirely within a single London borough.
