From the Willenhall E-ACT Academy
A multi-academy trust called E-ACT is in charge of 28 academies located all throughout England. We are honoured to be a part of a nation-wide community that comprises more than 18,000 students and 2,500 teaching and non-teaching professionals. In ways that schools might not be able to, as an E-ACT academy we can collaborate and exchange ideas with other academies within the trust. Through four regional clusters in London & Bucks, the Midlands, the North, and the South West, E-ACT supports its 28 academies. When assistance is required, we can rely on teams of local specialists in both educational and non-educational fields. Most importantly, our children feel like they are a part of something much bigger by participating in E-ACT. We are confident that every one of our students can reach their full potential by inspiring them to think large and to believe that everything is possible, by emphasising the value of teamwork, and by educating them to carefully consider their options in order to act morally.
