Impact Education Multi Academy Trust appointed Michael Kay as Deputy CEO

Impact is a diverse family of Primary, Secondary, Alternative Provision and All-Through Academies, serving young people and their communities in Bradford, Calderdale and Kirklees, West Yorkshire. Our vision is to be a Trust where hearts and minds connect; values-driven partners who work collaboratively to provide a high-quality and inclusive education that impacts positively on our young people. We are on a mission to improve their life chances, challenging social disadvantage and championing inclusion. We believe in student agency and equipping our young people with the knowledge, skills, and qualities to be successful in learning, life, and work. Our people are empowered to create, explore, share, and learn from each other and the wider system through agile professional learning communities. They have access to high quality professional development through our Institute of Learning. We work hard, but not at the expense of wellbeing, and we want all our people to feel valued, respected, and happy in their work. Our values of Heart, Mind and Connect underpin everything we do, and our core principles articulate how we will live these out across our Academies.
