Ascent Academies' Trust

The Ascent Academies’ Trust is a small but growing partnership of Special Academies in the North of England which aims to develop special needs provision across the region. The Trust has a high focus on providing high quality professional development opportunities for all staff. Together we build brighter futures for young people with SEND. The Ascent Academies’ Trust was founded in 2012 and is a family of five special academies in the North of England, over four different local authorities. We are a collaborative group of academies who work closely with one another in order to achieve the best outcomes for our young people. As a result, our academies have improved year on year and all academies are currently at least Good from an Ofsted rating, with some individual areas rated Outstanding. This is an exciting time to join our Trust as we look to set out our next steps in creating brilliant schools. We are an ethical Trust whose vision and values are aligned to equality and diversity, collaboration and lifelong learning.
