Our size and shape

Founded in September 2011, Diverse Academies is a multi-academy trust consisting of 15 academies – six secondary, seven primary and two special – across Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. We will be adding to our family of academies in January 2026 when we open a new special school, Horizons Academy.

Queen Elizabeth’s in Mansfield, is a faith academy under the Church of England and is rooted in a Christian ethos. The academy works in partnership with the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham to provide an education that is distinctively Christian, and is inclusive for students from all backgrounds, of the Christian faith, other faiths and no faith.

The Trust Board provides overall support and challenge to academies through the leadership and management and governance structures within the Diverse Academies.
