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 

“When I became a new Headteacher, it was reassuring to know that I could turn to the CEO for pastoral support. Having that sounding board there has been worth its weight in gold and it has been brilliant to see this ethos of genuine partnership growing as the Trust’s capacity has increased.”

“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

“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

“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

“We have also seen huge benefits from the support of the Trust’s Education Director, who has a clear, laser-like focus on achieving the best outcomes for our children. Working in partnership with us, offering a blend of professional dialogue and challenge has really helped us refine and reinvigorate different elements of our provision.”

"As the Head Teacher of Leadenham CE Primary Academy, I am proud to endorse and celebrate being part of Infinity Academies Trust. Our collaboration with the trust has been instrumental in providing invaluable support and opportunities for our pupils and staff.  

Infinity Academies Trust is committed to providing exceptional educational experiences and creating a network of schools that share common values and aspirations. We are a proud member of this network. 

One of the most significant advantages of being part of the Infinity Academies Trust is the access to a wide range of resources and expertise. This allows our school to continuously improve and innovate our teaching and learning practices. From professional development opportunities to the latest educational discussions, we have been able to enhance the quality of education we offer to our pupils. 

The collaborative ethos of the Trust is another key reason for our endorsement. We regularly engage with other schools within the Trust to share best practices, exchange ideas, and learn from one another. This network fosters a culture of continuous improvement, helping us stay at the forefront of education. 

Furthermore, the Trust is dedicated to fostering a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for all pupils. This aligns perfectly with our school's values and enables us to provide a nurturing and respectful atmosphere where every pupil can thrive."

Matthew Nicholson - Headteacher 

"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

“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. ”
