About
Welcome to The Forge Trust
The Forge Trust is a primary based MAT located in the East Midlands and was founded in 2016, building on the success of The Sir Donald Bailey Academy in Newark, Nottinghamshire.
Over time the Trust has grown to include eight academies and a small central team that know each of our academies exceptionally well. We pride ourselves on a strong collegiate approach and a commitment to continuous improvement against a backdrop of sound educational principles.
