## Description
LAAT is a strong, outward-facing multi-academy Trust that operates within Greater Lincolnshire.
We are committed to transforming lives through education and believe that every child has inherent potential. We strive to ensure we have the very best colleagues in our settings, well supported by their school-based colleagues, Leaders, and wider network of schools, as well as a dedicated central team of experts.
The Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust (LAAT) is a Trust of 24 Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire Primary/Infant Schools and one Secondary school (William Lovell).
The Trust is characterised by the fact the majority of the schools are either in market towns or more rural areas. Underpinning this for all schools are the strong family links between the members of the LAAT itself and the objectives of the Diocesan family.
LAAT is dedicated to supporting school improvement and Christian distinctiveness, whilst maintaining each school as a special and unique place in the heart of its unique context.
Since it was established LAAT has demonstrated its ability to provide excellent school improvement and back office support to its schools, taking the majority to Ofsted Good.
OUR VISION
Our Excellence, Exploration and Encouragement powered by Equity vision statement encapsulates the Trust we are today and the Trust we aspire to be in the future. It has meaningful resonance with the work we do and our commitment to overcoming the social inequality faced by our children and young people. We are passionate about improving the life chances of every child in our care, meeting them where they are.
Grounded in faith, we seek to see and understand all in our diverse communities and beyond.
Every pupil has the right to flourish; academically, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, through an educational experience based on Excellence, Exploration and Encouragement.
Every pupil has the right to receive what they need. And every child will need different things at different times. Providing this, is Equity at work.
Excellence, Exploration and Encouragement powered by Equity.

This procurement encompasses a full outsource of all the connectivity and associated security services, such as firewalls and protection from cyber-attacks.
At a high level the key deliverables are:
• A managed connectivity service to connect schools anywhere in England
