The Gateway Trust

I am truly delighted to welcome you to The Gateway Trust (TGT). As CEO, it is a privilege to greet every member of our vibrant community - our dedicated staff, enthusiastic students, supportive parents, and invaluable partners.

We are a dynamic trust, underpinned by a profound belief in being ‘stronger together’. Our strength lies in our shared knowledge, skills, and experience, and it's through positive collaboration and partnerships that we make a meaningful difference in all the communities we serve. We are united in our ambition for our pupils, staff, and the wider community, striving relentlessly to provide high-quality learning experiences for all.

Our Mission

We have recently merged with The University of Portsmouth Academy Trust (UPAT) to become one trust together. In a unique approach to a genuinely collaborative merger, both boards have come together equally and we have a model for the 2025-2026 academic year of Co-Chairs, enabling both the Chair of TGT Judith Houghton and the Chair of UPAT, Dai Thomas to lead the new board collaboratively through the first year of our merged trust.

Our Vision

Our Board of Trustees working group is currently co constructing our renewed mission, vision and values with input from the CEO and setting leaders. It is a really exciting time for our trust. If you would like to find out more about us please contact Gwennan Harrison-Jones on ceo@gatewaytrust.org
