The Pegasus Partnership Trust

What The Pegasus Partnership Trust does

The Pegasus Partnership Trust is a UK-registered multi-academy trust and charitable company limited by guarantee, founded in March 2019 and headquartered in Harrow. It operates two primary academies, Priestmead Primary School & Nursery and The Welldon Park Academy, serving approximately 1,400 children with around 200 staff. Priestmead holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating (December 2023), which is the strongest regulatory endorsement available to English schools.

The Trust's core business is the delivery of state-funded primary education, with revenue derived principally from ESFA/DFE per-pupil grants. Beyond direct academy funding, the Trust sells school improvement and training services to external schools, including Initial Teacher Training (ITT), Early Career Framework (ECF), and National Professional Qualifications (NPQs), delivered in partnership with Best Practice Network. It also runs the Securing Success programme with John Lyon's Charity. Smaller income lines come from school lettings and music tuition.

The Trust is led by a central executive team, with Sash Hamidi serving as CEO/Executive Headteacher. Its operating model is characteristic of a small multi-academy trust: shared governance and back-office functions across two sites, focused on primary-phase education in the Harrow area, with an emerging external services arm that leverages its Outstanding-rated practice to generate fee-based income.
