What our Heads say about our Trust.
Here are a few comments from our Academy Heads about what it's like being a part of Infinity Academies Trust.
“Even after just a few short months, we have already seen so many benefits. From the ongoing partnership and professional dialogue with the CEO and Education Director, to the contributions of the central team to ensure the smooth running of everyday operations, the support we receive is excellent.”
Andrew Raistrick - Executive Headteacher for Spalding Primary Academy & Pinchbeck East CE Primary Academy
"Having been a Headteacher before becoming one in Infinity Academies Trust has been a real privilege. The Trust has allowed our school to continue to maintain it’s autonomy and yet continue to grow within the community that we serve. Sharing knowledge, skills and expertise across the Trust enables schools to thrive and provide the best possible care and education for our children. Our Trust Network Meetings allow us to support and challenge one another within our practice and provide us with a platform to celebrate our achievements and successes. I am so proud to be a member of Infinity Academies Trust knowing that we are all here to ensure that every single person in our Trust family is valued and are able to flourish together."
Kirstyn Moffat – Headteacher at Gipsey Bridge Primary Academy
“As the Trust’s first sponsored academy, for the first time in a long time we feel like we have a place in a family - that the Trust believes in our children, our staff and our community and is absolutely invested in helping us to achieve our full potential.”
Fiona Booth - Headteacher at St. Nicholas CE Primary Academy
“We know that the Trust celebrates our individuality and we appreciate being able to work alongside other church schools and non-church schools across Lincolnshire. The recent Training Day solidified in my mind that we are all in this together, for the same purpose. We may have seven different contexts, but across every school, at every level, everyone is part of a child’s outcome at our Trust- that is something incredibly special.”
Joanne Sharples - Headteacher at St. Thomas' CE Primary Academy
“Having been through a pandemic, the fact that we were part of a Trust made an incredibly challenging situation so much more manageable. We were part of a collective group of headteachers and leaders who could support one another with the challenges it brought. The CEO was always on hand to steer us through the toughest of times and to provide the advice, guidance and pastoral support that was invaluable for me and my team.”
Sarah Paul - Headteacher at Wyberton Primary Academy
"It is great to be part of such a brilliant Trust. The shared expertise and support available across the schools is excellent – not only through the range of CPD on offer, but also in knowing that we can pick up the phone at any time. The support and challenge from the CEO and Central Team has helped the children and staff within the school to flourish."
Joe Hawkins - Headteacher at Little Gonerby CE Primary Academy
“We are delighted to now officially be members of the Infinity family and are very much looking forwards to continuing our journey together. The Trust have been providing support to our school for some time now and throughout this has been of the highest quality leading to positive changes across our school. The whole of the central team are incredibly supportive, making us all feel welcome and valuing our contributions which has been greatly appreciated by us all. ”
David Nicholson - Headteacher at Long Bennington CE Primary Academy
"Being part of a Trust that genuinely has children at the heart of everything they do is a rarity. Being the smallest school in the Trust brings its challenges, but there is always someone to call upon who can support and guide - whether it is a teaching and learning question, premises or finance - they are just a phone call away."
John Slater - Executive Headteacher at Leadenham CE Primary Academy
"We are very proud to be a part of Infinity Academies Trust where, as church schools, we know that we are part of a much bigger community that enables both pupils and staff to flourish. The personable support from both the education team and the core services team adds strength and value to all that we do. Whether it be through formal networks, CPD, or professional generosity, there is always somebody who is willing and able to help or share, wherever it is needed."
Dan Callaghan - Executive Headteacher at Haxey, St. Martin's & West Butterwick CE Primary Academies
"As Headteacher, I am extremely proud to be part of the Infinity Academies Trust. Being a member of this family of schools means we are never working in isolation; instead, we benefit from a collective wealth of knowledge, experience, and understanding. The Trust’s unwavering support comes in many forms—from sharing valuable resources and proven teaching strategies, to offering professional mentorship and robust training opportunities. Working closely together, we continually learn from one another, refine our approaches, and shape a richer educational experience for every child. This spirit of collaboration, where everyone’s contribution is valued and celebrated, ensures that our school and our pupils thrive, grow in confidence, and truly achieve their potential."
Matthew Nicholson - Headteacher at Spilsby Primary Academy
