The Lionheart Academies Trust is located in Leicestershire and now comprises 11 academies and educates over 9,500 pupils. It has grown rapidly since becoming a MAT in 2013 with all the schools that joined experiencing significant estates issues.
Kath, Roger and Roy’s presentation was titled, ‘EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION: How development of Estates has been pivotal in our success’, and covered the following key areas:
The importance of a good learning environment
The Lionheart Academies Trust strongly believe that their learning environment has contributed towards an improvement in educational outcomes and helped shape a change in teaching pedagogy, student attitudes, behaviour and achievement.The importance of good relationships
Once they became an academy and a MAT, their ability to borrow from the LA ceased and they needed to quickly become effective in forming relationships and accessing capital funding.
This has led to the following achievements£9m of funding linked to PSB2
£3.7m of Section 106 funding
£3.9m of CIF bid success
