We are proud to be one of 28 E-ACT academies in England. Our community includes over 18,000 pupils and 2,300 teachers and non-teaching professionals across the country. What it means to be part of E-ACT As an E-ACT academy we share ideas with other academies in the trust in ways other schools may not be able to. Our pupils and staff also feel part of something much bigger.
E-ACT academies also have support from people across the trust who help us to make things even better for our children. An E-ACT Academy in Birmingham, E-ACT Heartlands Academy, was ranked one of the best secondary schools in the country and was named School of the Year at the Times Educational Supplement schools awards in 2020.
Think big, show team spirit, do the right thing We believe that young people should never be held back from achieving great things.
By encouraging them to think big and believe that anything is possible, by showing them the importance of team spirit and by supporting them to carefully think through decisions to do the right thing, we know that every one of our pupils can realise their full potential.
