Project Team

ElmWey Learning Trust was formed as a Multi Academy Trust in September 2015. Currently it operates the successful Heathside School, in Weybridge. ElmWey has submitted a successful bid to the Department for Education to open a new school in Walton, called Heathside Walton-on-Thames.

ElmWey submitted its Free School bid to the Department for Education in early March 2016, and the bid was approved on the 12^th July 2016.

The Educations and Skills Funding Authority (ESFA) is an office of the Department for Education (DfE), which acts as the funding agency accountable for funding education and training for children, young people and adults.

The DfE will fund the proposed new school once consented.
