DESCRIPTION

Lionheart Academies Trust was founded in April 2014 in order to establish a foundation for the improvement and enhancement of educational provision in the East Midlands. Centred around our 'outstanding' lead academy, Beauchamp College, we have a strong track record of academies excellence, coupled with a clear focus of providing a holistic education which develops young people socially, emotionally and spiritually. From the foundation of the Multi Academy Trust we had the main priority of investing in the lives of young people from their early experiences of schooling in nursery, to their final years preparing for university or other employment opportunities. Our aim is simple, whether it be in our primary schools, secondary schools or sixth form colleges, and that is to provide a range of educational experiences that are challenging, equitable, enjoyable and are able to break down any barriers so that all can succeed. This involves seeking to create life-long learners and offer outstanding provision for our 4-19 year olds. Since the establishment of our Trust we have gradually grown into a supportive network of academies and we continue to go from strength to strength. This has included collaboratively working with a range of schools, both at primary and secondary level, some who initially had some difficult and challenging circumstances. We are proud of the support we have been able to provide all schools who have joined out trust, from supporting Ofsted judged 'inadequate' schools to become 'good' schools in less than two years, to working closely with senior leaders in order to help raise educational achievement for young people. In addition to leading our own academies, Beauchamp College is a National Support School and is experienced in successfully supporting schools and governing bodies to realise rapid improvements.
