The evolution of a national trust: Inside the Lift Schools rebrand

After 16 years, Academies Enterprise Trust, one of England's first national trusts, decided to change its name to Lift Schools. More than a name change, Lift Schools set out to redefine who they are and what they want to achieve. In this session, Lift Schools explains why this change was essential, how it aligns with their ambition, and what it looks like in practice to rebrand 57 schools across the country.
