Lion Academy Trust

The Lion Education Trust and Lion Academy Trust works hand in hand to lead several schools in different geographical hubs. Four primary schools, and an approved Secondary Free School, in London serve challenged but rich multi-cultural communities and all the schools are either truly outstanding or very close to being so. Our Essex hub consists of two schools serving Pitsea and Canvey Island communities and our Wellingborough Hub serves a further three primary schools. We believe that that obstacles and barriers, both real and perceived, can be overcome by clear, strategic and targeted support that creates culture change based on sharing good and outstanding practice, collegiality, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. This underpins our high expectations and action and drives all our staff to provide rich opportunities for our children in order for them to reach the highest possible levels of attainment and achieve exceptionally well in all walks of life. We believe that outstanding teaching and learning must be central to every decision made and every development introduced. As a result, our motto 'good or better everyday' permeates all expectations of staff and pupils to ensure that teaching is transformational. We are an inclusive, caring organisation where every child matters.
