Our skilled Colleague Services Team can help you maintain robust safe recruitment processes, with a particular focus on KCSIE compliance checks and Single Central Record (SCR) reviews

Business and Operations

Our Business and Operations team provides the steady, experienced support that keeps schools running smoothly behind the scenes. 

A partnership built around your needs

School support isn’t always straightforward. You may need more than a one-off service, but joining a multi-academy trust may not be the right step for your school – now or in the future.

That’s where our Partner School model comes in.

As a Partner School, you’ll have the opportunity to build relationships across the breadth of Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust. You can draw on the expertise and experience of colleagues across our central team and schools, creating opportunities to share ideas, solve challenges and learn from what works in different settings.
