We're thrilled to share the trust's latest Summary Annual Report. 2022/23 has been a positive year for Olive Academies. With continued focus on the quality of education across all five academies, there has been further development in the breadth of curriculum, the therapeutic offer and range of accreditation. This has positively impacted pupil’s academic outcomes, which have once again exceeded the national averages for the alternative provision sector.
