Sevenoaks School and Leigh Academies Trust (LAT) have launched a ground-breaking partnership. ‘Ambition’ is a unique four-year programme designed to significantly enhance the life chances and career aspirations of ambitious students across five LAT academies.
The programme, which is fully funded by LAT academies, focuses on providing essential targeted support, including an annual residential experience, 1:1 mentorship from Sevenoaks School alumni and university students and access to unique cultural and academic opportunities.
Students at Leigh Academy Minster are one of only a handful of LAT Academies to benefit from the programme. Through the programme, we will foster access to cultural capital, support students to develop a wide range of skills, and create a community of like-minded students.
