Aletheia Academies Trust is a growing family of academies serving children and young people from early years through to post-16 education. Our Trust includes nurseries, primary and secondary schools, sixth forms, Specialist Resource Provisions (SRPs), and all-through schools – united by shared high expectations, strong values, and a genuine commitment to inclusion.
As our community grows, so does our responsibility. We see scale not as an end in itself, but as an opportunity: for schools, leaders and governors to collaborate more closely, shape provision together, and contribute to a truly school-led, self-improving system rooted in local need. Growth, for us, is only worthwhile if it strengthens the quality of education and support in every academy we serve.
At the heart of Aletheia is a clear moral purpose. We are as committed to sustaining our high-performing academies as we are to supporting schools through challenge or transition. Our school improvement work draws on the collective expertise across the Trust – enabling leaders and teachers to learn from one another, share what works, and access support that is responsive, flexible and timely. Pedagogical excellence sits at the centre of everything we do, with a sustained focus on collaborative practice, mastery learning and evidence-informed teaching.
People are our greatest strength. As a Trust with Teacher Training Hub status, Aletheia plays a vital role in developing the next generation of teachers and leaders. We are proud to support recruitment, training and retention across our schools, offering clear career pathways, high-quality professional development, and the chance to work across different phases and contexts. For many, Aletheia is the start of a long and fulfilling career in education.
Our History
Aletheia Academies Trust was founded on a clear vision: to build a sustainable, values-driven Trust that acts as a civic institution – one that improves provision, broadens opportunity, and raises outcomes for children and families in the communities we serve.
Saint George’s Church of England School converted to academy status as a Single Academy Trust in 2011. In partnership with Shorne Church of England Primary School and St Botolph’s Church of England Primary School, Saint George’s helped establish Aletheia Academies Trust in late 2014, sharing a common commitment to educational excellence and collaboration.
Since then, Aletheia has grown in strength, capacity and expertise as a Multi-Academy Trust. Today, we serve pupils across a diverse range of academies, supported by a central team that works alongside schools to enable strong leadership, effective governance and sustained improvement – always keeping children and young people at the centre of everything we do.
