LAAT has made significant progress in improving attendance across its schools through a sustained, evidence-led strategy focused on family engagement, targeted intervention and early support

When Emma Bennett became Headteacher of William Lovell CofE Academy, she took on the leadership of a school with a complex history and a clear need for renewed ambition.

“At LAAT, we believe education should do more than prepare children for exams. It should prepare them for life. It should spark curiosity, build confidence, broaden horizons, and inspire children to believe that the world is full of opportunity,” says LAAT CEO, Jackie Waters-Dewhurst.

Apprenticeships are a key part of our approach to developing talent, supporting career progression, and investing in the future of education, and we are incredibly proud to celebrate our apprentices’ achievements.

“We want to build strong, trusting relationships with our families, not just their children,” says Theresa Peacock, Headteacher at Gainsborough Parish. “When we support the whole family, we create the stability, confidence, and partnership that children need to truly flourish.
