About Us
MARK Education Trust is a multi-academy trust based in East Sussex that has developed through a steady process of growth and collaboration between local schools. It was originally established on 22 February 2012 as the Beacon Community College Academy Trust, following Beacon Community College’s conversion to academy status in April 2012 – Beacon is situated in Crowborough. In January 2022, the organisation formally rebranded as MARK Education Trust, reflecting a renewed vision to expand and strengthen partnership working across schools. Since then, the trust has grown carefully, welcoming Uplands Academy in Wadhurst in September 2022 and continuing its development with the addition of Hailsham Academy in 2025. Throughout its journey, the Trust has remained focused on collaboration, sharing expertise, and improving outcomes for young people, guided by its ambition to provide high-quality education and create a community of schools that support each other and strive for excellence.
