Wave Multi Academy Trust (MAT) is a leading educational organization delivering high-quality education to students across the South West. With a focus on holistic development, Wave MAT aims to provide a balanced and comprehensive curriculum that prepares students for adult life, promoting their spiritual, moral, cultural, mental, and physical growth. Wave MAT comprises nine alternative provision academies, two medical academies, and a special academy catering to students with social communication and interaction needs.

The alternative provision academies offer specialized education to mainstream pupils who may have medical or health needs, are at risk of permanent exclusion, or have been permanently excluded. The medical academies provide education for students with complex medical and mental health needs, ensuring they receive high-quality education even if they cannot attend school full-time. The special academy, Glendinning Academy, caters to pupils aged 7 to 19 with social interaction and communication needs, including those on the autism spectrum.

The curriculum at Glendinning Academy emphasizes practical and experiential learning, tailored to each student's individual needs. At Wave MAT, the promotion of British values such as democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect is actively fostered. The organization strives to create a supportive and inclusive environment where positive relationships are built and students develop into confident, successful individuals with empathy and understanding.

With a commitment to collaboration and effective partnerships with families, schools, and other agencies, Wave MAT ensures that all students receive the support they need and achieve positive outcomes. Contact Wave MAT to learn more about their academies and the educational opportunities they offer
