About Windsor Academy Trust
Windsor Academy Trust (WAT) is a family of 15 schools with a shared moral purpose: to unlock the academic and personal potential of every student. We serve over 10,000 children and young people aged 2 to 18, supported by 1,300 talented and committed staff.
Since our formation in 2011 with Windsor High School and Sixth Form, our Trust has grown to include a diverse mix of primary and secondary schools, developed through conversions, sponsorships and new school openings.
Teaching and learning sits at the heart of our work, strengthened by a culture of continuous improvement and a strong commitment to professional development. For over a decade, we have developed exceptional teachers, leaders and professional services staff—both within our Trust and across the wider education system.
WAT Conference 2025: Connected –Co-Creating the Future
Our bi-annual WAT Conference is the flagship professional learning event for our entire Trust community. Under the 2025 theme Connected – Co-Creating the Future, this event will bring together all 1,300 staff—teachers, leaders, support staff and central team—for a shared day of learning, collaboration and inspiration.
The conference is a unique opportunity for sponsors and exhibitors to engage directly with a forward-thinking, values-driven education community committed to system leadership, innovation and excellence. By supporting the event, you’ll be contributing to the growth and development of the people shaping the future of education.

Welcome to the Windsor Academy Trust Conference 2025 ‘Connected’!
Dear Valued Partners,
I am delighted to welcome you to Windsor Academy Trust’s WAT Conference 2025: Connected – Co-Creating the Future.
As a Trust, we are united by a clear moral purpose – to unlock the academic and personal potential of every student. This purpose drives our commitment to excellence and shapes the way we work together across our family of 15 schools, serving over 10,000 children and young people.
Our bi-annual conference is a powerful expression of what it means to be part of the WAT family. On Friday 5th December 2025, we will bring together 1,300 staff from across our Trust for a day of professional learning, collaboration and inspiration. This year’s theme, Connected – Co-Creating the Future, reflects our belief that the strongest outcomes for students come when we learn and grow together – as educators, partners and communities.
We are proud to offer our partners the opportunity to be part of this event. Whether through sponsorship or exhibition, your presence will not only support the development of our people – it will place your organisation at the heart of a forwardthinking and values-led educational movement.
Thank you for considering joining us. Together, we can co-create a future where every student thrives.
Warm regards,
Dawn Haywood Chief Executive Officer, Windsor Academy Trust
