About Future Academies
Future Academies is a rapidly expanding group of Academy schools consisting of ten schools, seven secondaries and three primaries, based in London and Hertfordshire. All schools have been rated Good or Outstanding at their first inspection since joining the group.
Our network of ten schools in the UK achieves great results in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the country, tackling some of the most challenging issues in education.
Our vision is for Future Academies to become an educational beacon, lighting the way towards educational excellence and social mobility. This vision is best encapsulated by our trust motto, Libertas per cultum (‘freedom through education’). We believe that a good education is the cornerstone for social mobility, providing children with the tools they need to lead purposeful and fulfilling lives.
When functioning properly, an education can be empowering, furnishing students with the choice and freedom required to succeed on whichever path they choose to pursue.
Crucially, a good education can level the playing field, providing less advantaged students with the same opportunities as those enjoyed by their peers. Education is the great leveller, ensuring that neither birth nor background will constrain a child’s chances in life.
To become a national leader of educational excellence is an ambitious vision. However, when we all work together as a team, it is one that we believe is eminently achievable.
