What THE PARK FEDERATION ACADEMY TRUST does

The Park Federation Academy Trust is a UK state-funded multi-academy trust founded in 2012 and registered as an educational charity in England. It directly operates 10 primary and junior academies across South East England, with locations in Berkshire (Slough), Buckinghamshire (High Wycombe, Iver), and Middlesex (Hayes, West Drayton).

The trust is not a technology company; its core offering is educational services and school management delivered through physical academy sites, supplemented by trust-wide initiatives including Digital Learning, The Childhood Promise, Diversity and Inclusion, Staff Wellbeing, Sustainability, and the Global Park 100 program. It also operates an in-house CPD unit, the TPF School of Education, providing staff professional development including Digital Study Tours and Early Career Teacher support.

Revenue is derived from UK government grants administered through the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), with the Department for Education as the ultimate accountable body. The trust is governed by a Board of Directors led by Chair Muralee Nair, with executive leadership from Chief Executive & Accounting Officer Helen Abell, and is supported by a centralized senior team covering Finance, HR, Estates, Network Management, Data Protection, and Governance. No commercial pricing is applicable, and there is no venture capital, private equity backing, or parent company.
