From the White's Wood Academy
Welcome to the website of the Tall Oaks Academy Trust. You may find details about the three schools that make up our modest Multi-Academy Trust in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, on our website. All of our schools share the same objective, which is for the kids to be the very best they can be, to realise their full potential, and to 'grow' into citizens of the future we can be proud of. The buildings in which each of our schools is housed are very different from one another, and each has its own distinct identity. Please continue reading to learn more about the incredible work being done daily by the Trust. Alternately, if you prefer to visit us in person, call one of the school locations to set up an appointment. A member of the executive leadership team would be happy to give you a tour of a typical day at "Tall Oaks."
