The East Park School team is made up of individuals from an education trust as well as a local team of individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds. The application is being led by the trust who currently run the successful Fulham Boys School (FBS) in West London. The plan is for the FBS Trust to be formed into a Multi academy Trust (MAT) upon a successful application. In collaboration with the FBS Trust, the application is being led on the ground by a 'Local Founding Group' made up of parents, professionals and members of the local community. You can find out more about some members of our core team below.
