Job overview

Dear applicant, 

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about E-ACT and this exciting new role in our Executive Leadership Team. 

E-ACT is a National or System Leader Multi-academy trust, in that we have 28 academies, serving circa 18,000 pupils across multiple regions and 5 Regional Schools Commissioners.  We provide education in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Oldham, Buckinghamshire, Northants, Sheffield and Walsall. 27/28 academies are good or outstanding.  We serve some of the most disadvantaged children in the country. 

E-ACT is 14 years old and one of the most established trusts in the country.  We have learnt a great deal as MATs have evolved over time and are all very excited about our next phase of growth and development. 

We are entering a new paradigm in E-ACT where we aim to become ‘best in class’.  We have been reviewing our education and operational strategy, our governance and our organisational culture. We are hell-bent on providing the very best experience for our pupils and to ensure we recruit, retain and develop the highest quality staff in both teaching and professional services.  We are an organisation of human capital and aim to reflect this in the way we work. 

We are strengthening our team at the trust to accelerate our progress on this journey.  We report to a high quality board of members and trustees chaired by Lord Jim Knight, former Schools’ Minister. 

If you are an outstanding systems leader who has the creativity, courage and commitment to enable our staff and pupils to achieve our ambitions, then please get in touch directly.  We would love to talk to you in more detail and perhaps visit some of our academies. 

Looking forward to meeting you.

E-ACT is a leading Academy sponsor and social enterprise, specialising in the development of world class Academies and schools in the UK.

Our mission is straightforward. It is to become the leading education provider developing and nurturing highly successful Academies and schools.

We believe the better educated and more highly-skilled people are, the better their life chances and the more likely they are to succeed in today’s globalised world.

To achieve this, E-ACT Academies quickly become centres of excellence for improving young people’s life chances and opportunities.

Academies in England are helping transform and improve secondary education and opportunities for thousands of young people.

As a multi-Academy sponsor, E-ACT is working with individual schools, local authorities and the Government to set up high quality all-ability schools. Our Academies are governed by experienced and successful people and organisations drawn from the communities served by each Academy.

We work closely with private and public sector partners, universities and further education colleges to raise educational standards and young people’s aspirations through innovative approaches to teaching and learning.

As a social enterprise we combine the efficiency and effectiveness of a business trading for social purposes.

Diversity, tolerance and equality are at the heart of every activity in E-ACT Academies, where young people of all races, faiths and cultures learn together.

E-ACT Academies are also vibrant centres for their communities, available all year round outside of traditional school hours for sport, health and recreational activities. They are also a focus for family-related activities and provide lifelong learning opportunities for local people of all ages.
