The David Ross Education Trust has been created to develop a network of unique and diverse schools and academies. By supporting the needs of each academy, our mission is to ensure that each of these academies is recognised as outstanding, by supporting and broadening the horizons of staff, governors and, most importantly, students to enable them to be the best they can be.
The Trust believes that each of its academies should have a unique ethos and character that responds to the needs of its local community. We strongly believe that parents should have choice and diversity and be able to choose from a range of schools within their area to best meet the needs of their child, but that once that choice has been made we will do everything possible to meet the needs of the child and ensure that they become successful learners and develop into young people who the family, academy and community can be proud of.
The David Ross Education Trust was established by the David Ross Foundation. To find out more about their work, please click here.
Our network of academies operate across the East Midlands and East of England and include primary and secondary schools, as well as a grammar school.

Recently, the Duchess of Cambridge came to offically open our fantastic new builiding that will be home to over 1000 students at Havelock Academy. Click below to see how the visit went.
