Spencer Academies Trust

About Spencer Academies Trust

Established in 2011, Spencer has a well-established reputation for teaching excellence with some of the most successful and highest performing academies in the East Midlands region. We have a dedicated and talented staff team and through partnership and collaborative working share expertise, best practice and resources to make sure that our students benefit from the best possible educational experience, and our staff enjoy a positive, purposeful working environment with clear opportunities for career progression. We now have member schools across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire; a new presence in Leicestershire, and a strategic focus on Nottingham and Derby cities. Our results, and the journey that some of our schools have been on, speak for themselves. Over 90% of Trust schools are now classed as outstanding or good, with a 100% record of delivering sustained improvement between inspections. Our track record is based on close, positive relationships with parents and carers, and an l record of active community involvement. Our schools are valued accordingly and we are proud of individual successes: for example, at Derby’s Wyndham Primary Academy, taken from requiring improvement to status as an outstanding school in two years, and now a nationally regarded Research School.
