MARK Education Trust

About our trust

MARK Education Trust is a small multi-academy trust, responsible for two secondary schools in East Sussex. 

Our schools are “ambitious for excellence” and aim to benefit from working in partnership; forming a community of best practice and sharing expertise to improve outcomes for children and young people. 

Beacon Academy (formerly Beacon Community College) converted to an Academy, Beacon Academy Community College Trust, on 1 April 2012. 

In January 2022, Beacon Academy Community College Trust changed its name by special resolution to MARK Education Trust with a view to expanding the trust. 

Uplands Academy (formerly Uplands Community College) in Wadhurst, converted to an Academy and joined MARK Education Trust on 1 September 2022. 

As a trust, we are keen to remain in control of our destiny. Guided by our MARK Education Trust values, we are growing responsibly and with care so that our trust can meet the needs of and invest in our schools as well as carefully considering what capacity we can give to others. The trust is currently working closely with another East Sussex school, Hailsham Community College, which is an all-through 2-19 school.
