The Pioneer Academy Trust was formed when Stewart Fleming Primary School became an academy in 2011.  In May 2012, The Trust was asked by Bexley Local Authority to support Belvedere Junior School which then converted to an academy in April 2013.  The Trustees were once again approached by Bexley in the summer term of 2014 to support Burnt Oak Junior School which subsequently converted to an academy in July 2015.

Chatsworth Infant School has a long history of working closely with the Junior School that we feed, Burnt Oak.  Therefore, we naturally formed links with the Pioneer Academy and entered into a working partnership in the Spring of 2016. The Head Teacher and Governors of Chatsworth Infant School decided to join The Pioneer Academy and formally converted to an academy in September 2016.
