Unity Schools Partnership is a multi-academy trust based in Haverhill, Suffolk. It was previously registered as Samuel Ward and later as Samuel Ward Academy Trust before adopting its current name. The company operates as the sponsoring trust for a group of academies, with Companies House and Get Information about Schools records listing 40 academies under its group, spanning primary, secondary, and special schools across Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Havering. As a company limited by guarantee without share capital, it exists to run and govern these state-funded academies rather than trade commercially, filing group accounts and confirmation statements as required of an educational charitable trust.
