Excellence in Education

Our Academies

Welcome to E-ACT, one of the UK’s leading academy sponsors. We specialise in developing and maintaining state-funded academies, transforming education and opportunities for thousands of young people all over the country.

Who is E-ACT?

We operate over 31 academies, educating over 20,000 students across the UK.

Missions & Values

Our vision is to develop our academies into high attaining institutions through innovative approaches to teaching, learning and progression.

Objectives

We have identified four key objectives to help us deliver our vision and achieve our ambitions for education in the UK.

E-ACT has a proven, national record of developing academies into high attaining institutions. In 2012, we celebrated our fourth successive year of improvements across all our academies.

Quality Standards

Our quality standards set out minimum expectations to be achieved across 11 vital areas of our academies’ activities, including teaching and learning, governance, student behaviour and attendance.

Best Practice

We believe partnership is vital for achieving our vision, from sharing best practice across our academy network, to working with higher education partners.

Success Stories

Our success is driven by the achievements of our academies and their students. Read about some of our success stories and the innovative ways our academies are teaching and sharing best practice.

E-ACT sponsors 31 academies across the UK. We work closely with our academies to create a clear vision and strong leadership, adding pace to each academy’s growth towards becoming an outstanding institution.

Governing Bodies

We believe the role of governing bodies is critical in achieving education excellence in our academies. Find out what’s expected of an E-ACT governing body and how you can become a governor.
