Sapientia Education Trust is a multi-academy trust incorporated in 2010 and registered at Wymondham College, Norfolk. Companies House records show its business as primary education, general secondary education and educational support services. The trust's own website material identifies it as the governing body overseeing member academies, including Attleborough Academy, a coeducational secondary school and sixth form in Attleborough, Norfolk. Attleborough Academy's site directs visitors to Sapientia Education Trust for information on accounts, members and trustees, confirming the trust's role as the overarching governance and academy-management body rather than a single school itself. The trust thus operates and administers state-funded schools across the area rather than trading commercially.
