Estates Management

Estates Management: What is it?

We are committed to investing in our academies, developing and maintaining safe and inspirational learning environments.

Our Estates team supports the management of capital projects, the implementation of programmes to improve economic efficiencies and supplies a comprehensive series of systems to monitor and track the status of all buildings and contents across the Trust. They work in partnership with academies to deliver expert advice and guidance through all types of facility-related projects and strategic developments.

Alongside emergency support, a telephone helpline and tailored training courses, our academies have access to an extensive database of approved engineers, surveyors, electricians and contractors – ensuring the process of sourcing external trades is efficient and quality assured.
