This trust is made of eight schools and was led, until her retirement, by Dame Susan Jowett of George Spencer Academy Nottinghamshire. It was also announced in February 2015 that Christopher Haggett would be the new Principal of Long Field starting on 1 June 2015.
In September 2016 it was announced that the academy would be buying 4 Alpacas for the school, as it would be an entertainment for the students and a responsibility for them to take care of.
