L.E.A.D.
Lead ● Empower ● Achieve ● Drive
Through outstanding leadership, we will provide the highest quality education to enable every pupil to realise their full potential.
Welcome from
Diana Owen CBE, Chief Executive
Our vision is that through outstanding leadership we will provide the highest quality education to enable every pupil to realise their full potential.
Of course, every good school aspires to this aim, so what makes us different?
We passionately believe in the power of partnership working as a catalyst for ensuring more children receive an exceptional education. Our academies have experienced the transformational impact this can have.
At the same time, we recognise the importance of autonomy. Every school has its own context and challenges. This is why we encourage our academies to lead and manage in a way that preserves their individual identity and responds to the specific needs of their pupils and community. The combination of autonomy and collaboration across key areas of leadership and management, underpinned by shared vision, values and best practice, is what makes the L.E.A.D. Academy Trust unique.
We are also strengthened by the support, guidance and wide-ranging skills of our experienced board of trustees and local governors. The acronym L.E.A.D. embodies the four core principles at the heart of the Trust: strong leadership at every level; empowering everyone to aim high; providing the opportunity for all to achieve, and constantly driving for improvement.
