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 multi-academy trust dedicated to transforming life chances through education. With 22 schools across England—many serving disadvantaged communities—we are committed to ensuring that every one of our learners, regardless of their starting point, receives the highest quality of education and the opportunity to thrive.
Everything we do is guided by a culture of hard work, integrity, and teamwork. We are determined to see things through, resilient in the face of challenges, and always focused on doing what is right for our learners. Collaboration is at the heart of our approach; we work together across our academies to share best practice and support each other to succeed.
Our role as a Trust goes beyond education; we safeguard and champion all our learners, setting high expectations for both staff and students. By building powerful knowledge and cultural capital, we equip young people with the skills they need to access opportunities and shape their own futures.
Our Trust succeeds through an approach of aligned autonomy, ensuring that decision-making is both strategic and responsive to local need. We focus on keeping things simple, removing unnecessary complexity so our colleagues can concentrate on what matters most. Above all, we invest in talent development through our ATT Institute, supporting our staff to be the very best they can be, because we know that great teachers transform lives.
As Acting CEO, I am incredibly proud of the dedication and passion of colleagues across our Trust- we are all unwavering in our commitment to providing the very best learning opportunities for every child in our care. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our academies, our mission, and the impact we are making.

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.
