The creation of the L.E.A.D. Academy Trust is a natural progression of our belief in a partnership ethos and our determination to ensure that more young people receive an exceptional education.
As a high performing primary school we were eligible to apply for academy status. There were a number of options for taking that status forward:
The last option fitted best with our aspirations to influence a better education for greater numbers of children locally, nationally and internationally.
Having been on an extraordinary learning journey of our own, we know the importance of both autonomy and collaboration.

A strong focus on leadership permeates our model, not just at Trust level or of our clusters of schools, or of the individual schools but for staff and for children. Everyone can benefit from the development of leadership skills.
Our focus on leadership also extends to succession planning, talent management and enhanced career options for leaders across our schools. Growing our own leaders and deploying them across the Trust as opportunities arise will embed our values, facilitate the sharing of best practice and promote sustainability.
