Leigh Academies Trust

About Leigh Academies Trust

Leigh Academies Trust has gone from strength to strength since its creation and is now one of the country’s most successful multi-academy trusts. The Trust was formed in 2008 with the linking of the Leigh Technology Academy and Longfield Academy under one governing body. Today, we encompass more than 24,000 students between the ages of 2 months and 19 in over 33 primary, secondary and special academies including one all-through academy and one grammar school. We are one of the country’s largest and most-established multi-academy trusts operating across Kent, Medway and South East London. LAT contains primary, secondary and special academies and is highly inclusive and successful. Our mission is to deliver “education for a better world” by ensuring that young people in our academies have an excellent start in life regardless of their background or ability. We are a non-profit making charitable company, based in Strood, Medway. The Trust exists to support and assist schools to build upon their existing strengths and to help them achieve rapid educational transformation. It has significant experience in running schools, and today includes both sponsored academies and schools which have chosen to convert to academy status. In addition to providing high-quality educational opportunities for all of our children, aged from 2 months to 19 years, and their families, we are proud to provide many opportunities for lifelong learning. These are delivered through the organisations under our umbrella: Thames Gateway Teaching School Hub, LAT Apprenticeships and Kent and Medway Training (KMT), which delivers routes into teaching. Benefits for LAT employees: We strive to offer a range of benefits that all employees can take advantage of which we regularly review and improve, based on what our staff want and need - visit our website to see what you’d receive as a member of staff with Leigh Academies Trust.
