Aston University Stem Education Academy Trust, Birmingham,

Welcome to Aston University STEM Education Academy Trust (AUSEAT), a new family of schools born from a deep and long-standing commitment to unlocking the potential of young people through high academic and technical STEM education pathways.

As the CEO and Executive Principal of both the highly successful Aston University Engineering Academy (AUEA) and the pioneering new Aston University Mathematics School (AUMS), I am immensely proud to lead a trust dedicated to delivering world-class STEM education. Our mission is to equip the next generation with the knowledge for life and skills for the future to thrive in high-demand sectors such as Business, Health, Computing, Engineering, and the creative industries.

Aston University Maths School is built upon a decade of success and expertise in specialist 13-19 education, established through our founding University Technical College - Aston University Engineering Academy. Since opening its doors in 2012, AUEA has forged an outstanding reputation both regionally and nationally for excellence in technical education, consistently transforming the lives of its students and sending them on to top universities and coveted apprenticeships.

Our trust is built around the core principles of developing our People, ensuring our outstanding Place through our facilities, our communities and our impact, and in Partnerships with leading employers, Industry and Universities.

Central to this is our trust’s unique sponsorship by Aston University. This is not a passive partnership, but an active and vibrant collaboration that provides our students with unparalleled access to the people, places, and knowledge of one of the UK’s leading and innovative universities. This deep, strategic collaboration ensures the education in all of our trust schools is rigorous, relevant, and directly connected to the worlds of higher education and future industry, creating a truly unique and exciting environment for our students to learn and grow.

We value working closely across our trust schools, recognising, celebrating and retaining our differences, whilst benefiting from the shared expertise, support and services that a trust family brings. Together we can achieve outstanding outcomes, address the regional skills gap in high-value STEM sectors and champion social mobility by creating clear talent pipelines for students from all backgrounds. This is Aston University STEM Education Academy Trust.
