Coastal Academies Trust is a multi-academy trust registered in England, incorporated in 2011, whose registered office is at King Ethelbert School in Birchington, Kent. Companies House records its business as general secondary education. Evidence confirms the trust operates King Ethelbert School, a mixed secondary school in Birchington-on-Sea offering GCSE subjects and sixth form provision including the International Baccalaureate and BTEC courses. The school's own website lists Coastal Academies Trust as its governing body. As a trust, it oversees the running of its member school rather than providing services directly to the public itself, focusing on delivering secondary and sixth form education to local students.
