Aldridge Education

Aldridge Education believes that education should be stimulating, enriching and enjoyable.

The Aldridge Foundation established Aldridge Education as a national multi-academy trust in September 2016, taking over responsibility from the Foundation for its family of academy schools and colleges. Founder and Chair of the Aldridge Foundation, Sir Rod Aldridge, is a Member and the Foundation is a Corporate Member of Aldridge Education MAT. There are currently eight schools within the MAT and an adult education provider, and Aldridge Education is also the Lead Sponsor of a free-standing academy, Kensington Aldridge Academy.

Aldridge Education believe that education should be stimulating, enriching and enjoyable at all phases. They believe that strong schools and trusts achieve this through high-quality teaching, strong and relevant curricula that retain breadth within and between future career pathways; through clear boundaries and excellent relationships. They believe that a great education empowers young people because it offers them genuine choice for their future decisions. They believe that it allows pupils and students to understand the value of education and learning throughout their lives. Aldridge Education’s ambition is that their young people can look forward to the whole of their futures with anticipation because they have turned what excited and stimulated them at school into a career that provides economic security and a life that is enriching, both to them and to those around them. And that means all of their young people – their mission is to reach the most vulnerable and hardest to reach.

The Aldridge Foundation Members are seeking exceptional candidates to join the board of Aldridge Education as Trustees. Candidates will demonstrate a commitment to the vision of the Aldridge Foundation and to the mission, beliefs, and intentions of Aldridge Education and to achieving the Aldridge Ambitions, proven leadership skills and strategic vision and the time and commitment to support Aldridge Education develop and achieve its ambitions.
