Welcome from the CEO

At Haberdashers’ Academies Trust South, our mission is clear: to transform lives through education, supporting every child and young person to flourish at school and be successful in their lives.  Across our family of schools, we empower staff, children and young people to dream big, grow with self-belief, and create a brighter future, ensuring every learner is equipped to flourish at school and beyond, no matter their background.

From the youngest children in early years to young adults preparing to shape the future, we nurture knowledge, confidence, and character, supporting all our learners to reach their fullest potential.

As proud members of the Haberdashers’ family, we offer something truly unique. Our blend of state and independent education opens doors to a world of life-changing opportunities. Our learners and staff benefit from an unrivalled network of connections, experiences, professional pathways, and a community that inspires ambition and excellence.

Inclusion is at the heart of who we are. We celebrate diversity, value every individual, and create a culture where everyone feels they belong. By nurturing a sense of pride and belonging, we ensure that every member of our Trust—learners, staff, and families—feels supported to thrive and succeed.

I am proud of what we have achieved together and am excited about what lies ahead. At Haberdashers’ Academies Trust South, we remain steadfast in our commitment to helping every child and young person flourish, ensuring they are prepared to embrace a future full of opportunity, possibility, and purpose.

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to sharing our journey with you.

Jan Shadick, CEO
