Our 2026 to 2031 strategic plan sets out the next phase of development for Diverse Academies Trust.
It builds on the strong foundations of our previous five-year strategy, reflecting both the progress we have made and the evolving needs of the communities we serve.
While we remain anchored in our core purpose, this next chapter brings greater clarity, consistency and alignment across the organisation.
We move into this period from a position of strength. Over recent years, we have improved educational quality, strengthened our ways of working, and deepened collaboration across our academies. These achievements provide a solid platform for what comes next.
Our response is a strategy built around a set of cross-cutting themes. These will guide our improvement journey over the next five years and ensure coherence across all areas of our work. At its heart, this plan remains focused on one clear ambition – enabling every child and young person to thrive, succeed and achieve their full potential.
