Falcon Education Academies Trust is a Department for Education (DfE) approved sponsor multi academy trust. Our member academies will be either maintained schools that convert under a Directed Academy Order or existing academies that the DfE believes would benefit from being part of our Trust.
The Trust has been established with a governance and leadership structure based on the Department for Education (DfE) model for multi academy trusts.
OUR PURPOSE
Falcon Education Academies Trust is a new academy trust established to take on and turn around schools and academies in the north of England with a history of under-performance.
Our purpose is to secure immediate, sustainable improvement in these schools and academies by tackling their long-term problems with targeted, effective, practical plans.
OUR GOALS ARE:
To transform lives in some of the most challenging circumstances in the country.
To raise standards in schools where there is no other support available.
To support communities that are crying out for the quality educational provision their children have the right to.
We recognise that there will be different issues in each school or academy, ranging from academic standards, pupil outcomes or quality of teaching through to school leadership, staff recruitment and retention or financial management.
We are confident we will achieve immediate, sustainable improvement because the Trust has been established with a strong team of trustees and senior leaders with proven track records in improving schools in very challenging circumstances. The Trust can also draw upon support from a network of partner multi academy trusts to provide additional capability and capacity.
Falcon Education Academies Trust is a Department for Education (DfE) approved sponsor multi academy trust. Our member academies will either be maintained schools that convert under a Directed Academy Order or existing academies that the DfE believes would benefit from being part of our trust. We will work closely with the DfE National Schools Commissioner and Regional Schools Commissioners to identify such schools and academies.
In the future, once the sustainability and viability of an academy is secure and only if it is their best interests to do so, we will be able to transfer that academy to another successful multi academy trust. This unique feature of our trust is designed to enable us to take on and turn around more under-performing schools and academies.
