Hamwic Education Trust is a multi-academy trust registered in England, incorporated in 2017, with a registered office in Southampton. Companies House records its business as primary and general secondary education. Evidence confirms it operates schools including Bearwood Primary and Nursery School in Bournemouth, whose own website identifies it as part of Hamwic Education Trust and directs complaints to the trust's procedure. The trust's role is to run and oversee member schools, covering areas such as safeguarding, admissions, curriculum and pastoral care, rather than trading commercially itself. As a trust, it manages the governance and educational provision of its constituent primary and secondary schools rather than a single site.
