We are proud to share that Leigh Academies Trust leads academy trusts nationally under Ofsted’s new inspection framework!

Leigh Academies Trust (LAT) ranks first among the twenty- two academy trusts who have been inspected four or more times under Ofsted’s new approach, with 77.6% of its judgements graded Strong or above against a national rate of 25.8%. The Trust has also been awarded 19 Exceptional grades, more than any other trust in the country.

Ofsted inspected seven LAT academies between November 2025 and July 2026, the first full year of the inspectorate’s new approach. Those inspections produced 49 separate judgements: 19 graded Exceptional, 19 Strong and 11 Expected. Not one fell below the Expected standard, which Ofsted itself defines as a “high bar”.

Simon Beamish, Chief Executive of Leigh Academies Trust, said:
“Seven inspections in a single year with not one grade below the Expected standard out of 49 tells you something about the consistency our academies have built”.

Leigh Academy Tree Tops made sure that our wonderful Year 6 Leavers had the send off that they all deserved!
As well as our traditional Treefest with face glitter, surprise gifts, a buffet, a karaoke, an inflatable obstacle course, a chill out area and more, we introduced a new event with our red carpet TAFTAS (The Awards For The Amazing Sixes!) evening where every student was presented with a unique award specific to their own skills and personality.

What a week of celebration! Good luck year 6! We will miss you!
