We are also raising the educational bar through our academies. A family of 52 educational institutions serving over 28,000 students from a variety of backgrounds, our academies seek to close the educational gap that exists between disadvantaged students and their more privileged counterparts.

Company

We are for community. A place where everyone is included, contributing and reaching their God-given potential.  

Established in 2004, our vision is to create "Exceptional Education at the Heart of the Community."  Beginning with three secondary schools in Enfield, Grimsby and Immingham, we have since grown into one of the largest Multi-Academy Trusts in England, a family of 52 primary, secondary and all-through academies in five regions across the country. 

We serve over 29,000 young people, 49% of whom are from disadvantaged backgrounds and 31% speak English as an additional language. 

Each of our academies, and the services behind them, are committed to creating exceptional entitlement that ensures that our students have real choice in their lives.  We want them to leave at the end of their time at school equipped, ready and eager to make the most of their next steps.     

We are also committed to a model of inclusion, equality, healthy relationships, hope  and perseverance and this permeates all aspects of the life and culture of each academy and the organisation as a whole.
