Academy Trust. In addition to our work with partner schools and colleges, as an academy sponsor we are now able to make a systemic intervention in the education and attainment outcomes of pupils in schools and colleges. Raising aspirations, widening participation and increasing progression to FE and HE is embedded into the ethos of our Academies. Currently, we have six academies, one secondary and five primaries. It is our intention that the primary schools will be our key partners in the delivery of our Primary Engagement Project. This will build upon our Moving Forward – Primary Project which was successful in terms of participation and qualitative feedback, but had limitations in terms of monitoring evaluation and impact.
