Welcome to the Nexus Education Schools Trust (NEST) website! Here, you’ll discover the heart of our multi-academy trust, the incredible work of our partner schools, and the inspiring impact of the Thames South Teaching School Hub.

At NEST, learning is our passion and our purpose. We are committed to the classroom and the transformative power of education. Collaboration is the cornerstone of our ethos, uniting our schools in a shared mission to foster a professional learning community that drives excellence and innovation.

As a forward-thinking and highly respected Multi-Academy Trust, we proudly serve a growing family of 20 schools across Bromley, Southwark, Kent, and Lewisham. Our diverse community includes infant, junior, primary, and specialist schools—each dedicated to creating inclusive, inspiring, and high-quality educational experiences.

We also lead the Thames South Teaching School Hub, delivering exceptional teacher training and professional development in Bromley, Bexley, and Greenwich. Through strong partnerships with other trusts and maintained schools, we’ve built a collaborative network that enhances education across the region.

This is an exciting time for NEST, as we continue to grow, welcome new schools, and expand our impact. Together, we are driven by a clear moral purpose:

“To provide excellence and opportunity for all, transforming lives through education and inspiring the leaders of tomorrow.”

We invite you to explore, connect, and join us on this journey of transforming lives and shaping the future of education. Welcome to NEST!
