Multi Academy Trust (MAT) was formed in 2014 and at first comprised six academy schools. The trust expanded significantly and constructed two studio schools, one in Bath and one on the Wellsway site. The trust also sponsors the Sir Bernard Lovell Academy after its inadequate 2014 Ofsted report. In 2018 Ofsted found that all the secondary schools other than Wellsway School in the MAT required improvement. The MAT noted that Sir Bernard Lovell Academy had come out of special measures, and the other two schools were first inspections. In 2018, the MAT proposed that Bath Studio School should close in 2020, largely because only 126 places of the school's 300 capacity were in use so the school was being heavily subsidised by the MAT. The organisation's name was changed in June 2021 from Wellsway Multi Academy Trust to Futura Learning Partnership, reflecting its growth to 13 academies. Academies The MAT also operates three "Aspire AP" sites offering provision for about 30 children with serious mental health, behavioural and emotional problems.
