The White Hills Park Federation Trust, is a collective group of schools in Bramcote, Nottinghamshire, England. Aimed at bringing the benefits and economies of scale of a large establishment, while remaining to keep two schools, under one Management Structure and Governing Body. The name is derived from the three schools originally within the federation. The Federation was founded in 2006 after recruiting a 'super head', for the three schools which at the time none of which had a headteachers. Kevin Dean was recruited from Eastwood Comprehensive School, to become the Federation Executive Head Teacher.

On 1 October 2012 the White Hills Park Federation became The White Hills Park Federation Trust, a multi-academy trust comprising two academies: Alderman White School and The Bramcote School

Former Federated School

Bramcote Hills Sport & Community College was in the federation from its conception, however following its legal closure on August 2009, due to building safety problems, the remaining site is now under the legal control of Alderman White School & Language College.

Bramcote Hills Sports and Community College was formally closed by Nottinghamshire County Council on 31 August 2009. At the same time the council agreed from 1 September 2009, to enlarge Alderman White School and Language College, to incorporate the remaining site of Bramcote Hills School, following demolition of the unsafe upper school, this making Alderman White a split site school, and keeping the buildings in use within the federation

The two schools now share one 6th Form facility based at the former Bramcote Hills Sport & Community College Site, called Bramcote College, now under the Alderman White School management.

Investigations into the structural issues with the former Bramcote Hills site buildings, now in use by Alderman White School have been ongoing. Extensive structural testing, concluded in February 2009, determined that the buildings that have remained in use, by the former school, can remain in use for the next three years. It is likely that they can be retained beyond that and probably for six years, subject to regular monitoring and inspection. This should result in the buildings being in use until the time that Building Schools for the Future (BSF) funding delivers a solution for this area. Beyond that time the future use of the buildings is currently unclear within the context of BSF. A master plan, identifying the educational needs and requirements of the area will be developed to clarify this at a later date. The current proposals may provide the flexibility to retain parts of the existing buildings, subject to the monitoring and testing regime
