About Us

The Academies Enterprise Trust was established in September 2008. We are fortunate to have a team of talented and experienced leaders who come together to form both the AET Board and the Executive Team and, with over thirty years of hands-on professional experience, align themselves with our educational values.


“The AET is committed to developing Academies that focus on outstanding performance. Set out below are the criteria for success which we will use to drive their development.”

High Performing Organisations

It is essential that all Academies and Schools working in partnership with the AET strive to be the:

Education provider of choice for students

Employer of choice for the staff

Investment of choice for the parents/carers
