Lion Academy Trust
About Lion Academy Trust
Lion Academy Trust is a growing Multi-Academy Trust of 11 schools across London, Essex and Wellingborough. Our schools serve diverse communities and share a common commitment: ensuring every child receives an exceptional education in a safe, nurturing and ambitious environment.
Our growth has always been purposeful. We work collaboratively because we know that strong partnership, shared expertise and collective responsibility improve outcomes for children and create better professional experiences for staff. Together, we support thousands of pupils and their families, striving to remove barriers, raise standards and open doors to opportunity.
Our roots are grounded in school improvement, curriculum excellence and system leadership. We believe that every child, regardless of starting point, deserves access to high-quality teaching, strong pastoral care and rich opportunities. Equally, we believe every member of staff deserves clarity, development, support and wellbeing.
As part of the wider national education system, we embrace the vision of strong, collaborative trusts that secure high standards, invest in people and strengthen communities.
Our Lion Family
Our mission is simple: children first, always.
This principle underpins our culture, our decisions and our relationships. Across our 11 schools, we work as one Trust, sharing expertise, supporting one another and holding the same high expectations for every child.

- Collaboration over isolation
Development over stagnation
Clarity over complexity
Support over hierarchy
Excellence with care
Your contribution, whether in the classroom, office or wider team, plays a vital role in shaping children’s futures.
