The White Horse Federation, which runs several primary schools in Swindon, Wiltshire, has been named as a finalist for two national education awards in March 2026. This recognition highlights the standard of management and support provided to local schools within the network.
The group is in the running for ‘MAT of the Year’ (large trust category) and the ‘Transformation and Impact’ award at the MAT Excellence Awards. This national event celebrates high standards in how groups of schools are managed and how they support their pupils.
The trust currently supports 30 schools and reports that 100 per cent of its schools are rated as good or outstanding by Ofsted. This follows a reported 12 per cent rise in pupil outcomes across the federation.
The award nominations also recognise that the group has reinvested £6 million back into education across its network of schools. These awards provide a way for parents to see the management and academic progress of the local school system.
