About LiFE

Established in 2014, LiFE Multi Academy Trust encompasses primary and secondary academies, as well as nurseries, across Leicestershire. Our goal is to provide high-quality, personalised, and well-rounded education for all students within our communities. Each school within our trust is integral to its local community, promoting inclusion, diversity, personal responsibility, and respect. 

As a Trust, we prioritise investing in our staff and take pride in nurturing ‘home grown talent,’ which helps our team positively impact young people’s lives. Our goal is to hire individuals who align with our ethos, enabling collaboration across the Trust and ensuring professional development. We offer outstanding training pathways, drawing on internal and external excellence to build professional capital.

Examples of external opportunities include NPQSL, NPQH, NPQML, OTP, and ITT. Pathways are available from apprenticeship to senior leadership levels, with some courses led by Trust staff and others externally accredited. Additionally, middle leaders can gain leadership experience as associate SLT members. Support staff benefit from personalised improvement plans, coaching, and training to take charge of their professional growth.





”We believe in getting the right people, getting them to work together and getting them to stay."
