Inspiration Trust is a multi-academy trust registered in Norwich, operating a group of schools across Norfolk and North Suffolk, including pre-primary, primary and secondary education providers. Evidence shows one of its schools, Charles Darwin Primary and Nursery, describes itself as a free-to-attend school in Norwich city centre, offering nursery provision alongside a primary curriculum, and states it is part of the Inspiration Trust family of schools with links to other trust academies. The registered entity itself functions as the overarching trust body governing these academies, rather than delivering teaching directly. Its stated business activities, per official records, span pre-primary, primary and general secondary education.
