About this company

Cidari Education Limited trades as Cidari Multi Academy Trust, part of the Blackburn Diocese. Established in November 2013, it operates a group of Church of England and community academies across Lancashire and Blackpool, including primary and secondary schools, both converter and sponsored. The trust provides governance and central support to its member academies, overseeing curriculum, school improvement, statutory reporting and local governing committees. Its academies combine faith-based and non-faith settings, reflecting a Christian ethos alongside community diversity. Recent additions include South Shore Academy in Blackpool, which joined in October 2024. As a multi academy trust, the registered company functions as the overarching educational body responsible for the schools within its network rather than running a single institution itself.
