Our cross-phase group of academies was founded in 2011 and, since that time, we have grown to our current family of 22 academies (primary, secondary, post-16 and FE) operating across 10 English local authority areas.
Welcome to Academy Transformation Trust, a not-for-profit charitable trust of 22 schools across central England, including primary, secondary, special, and further education.
At ATT, we believe that education can be transformative. With many of our academies in areas where high levels of social disadvantage have too often adversely affected young people, we aim to provide every ATT learner with the support, encouragement and high-quality education they need to achieve the best possible start to their future.
Our Four Critical Questions guide us in everything we do, whilst the principles of Challenge, Support and Intervention help us to constantly reflect on and improve our approach. Our model of aligned autonomy is a real strength of our Trust. It allows our expert education team to align best practice and high standards across all our academies, whilst implementing targeted support unique to each school’s local need. Over the past two years, this approach has had a profound impact, evidenced in successive positive Ofsted inspection outcomes.
As well as investing in our learners, we’re proud to be an organisation that invests in its staff. Our ATT Institute works hard to deliver a broad offer of CPD to our 1,800 colleagues, ensuring that all staff have the opportunity to grow their skillset and develop in their career, no matter their role.
As Acting CEO, I’m privileged to be leading a Trust that cares deeply about the success of every one of their learners, with the support of innumerable talented leaders, staff, and governors.

Acting Chief Executive Officer
Our ATT Ways help us achieve our mission of aligned autonomy, sharing best practice and building a collaborative culture across our Trust. Find out more in the videos below.
Academy Transformation Trust (ATT) is proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant (AFC) to affirm our commitment to the armed forces community. The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated with fairness and respect in their communities.
We are pleased to confirm that our organisation has received the Silver Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme in recognition of our intent to support and advocate our armed forces personnel. The ERS distinguishes commitment and support from UK employers for defence personnel. The scheme bestows Bronze, Silver and Gold to employers supporting the wider armed forces community and their families. ATT is now striving to achieve our Gold ERS.
We are honoured that our family of 22 academies have all also committed pledges to advocate their support to the Armed Forces community, and to the principles of the Covenant, with each individual academy also being awarded their individual Silver ERS too. Our vision is to ensure that all children and young people, regardless of their background, fulfil their educational potential and maximise their life chances. As a charitable organisation, we epitomise working inclusively within our communities, embracing the varied localities we serve, and are committed to honouring the Armed Forces Covenant and supporting our Armed Forces community.
