The David Ross Education Trust works with primary and secondary academies across the East Midlands, Yorkshire and Humberside and the East of England. The Trust is also delighted to have a grammar school and special school in our network. Our mission is to become the country's leading group of academies, committed to high quality academic education for all. We are seeing real success. At a secondary level: - A-level performance continues to improve. In 2013 the number of KS5 entries across the Trust that were awarded an A*-B grade (or equivalent) rose from 35% - 45%. More students than ever before will be going to Russell Group universities in 2013 from DRET academies. - The average number of young people in each of our academies achieving the key government target of 5 A-C (inc. maths & English) has now risen from 52% to 66% across the network's secondary academies in just two years (2012 - 2013). - Of the six secondary academies in the Trust at the end of the 2012/13 academic year, Havelock Academy improved by 24 percentage points in two years, King Edward VI by 26 percentage points and Malcolm Arnold Academy by nearly 12 percentage points over the same period. Skegness Grammar School and Lodge Park have also seen a double figure rise since they have joined us in the last 18 months, and for the first time ever over 80% of students at Humberston Academy achieved the key government target. At a primary level: - In 2012, combined L4+ English and maths increased by 9 percentage points to 74% across our primary academies. - In 2013's results, The Arbours Primary Academy, which joined the Trust in special measures improved their L4+ combined by 25 percentage points (from 41% - 66%). Maths results also improved signifcantly across the Trust.
