About TDET
Thomas Deacon Education Trust is a charitable organisation dedicated to raising educational outcomes across a range of primary and secondary phase schools and academies in the East Midlands. As a multi-academy trust they strive to provide outstanding teaching and learning for all and an ethos and culturethat encourages everyone to be the very best that they can be.
They put learners, and their learning, at the heart of everything they do.
Thomas Deacon Academy
The Thomas Deacon Academy that they know today opened in 2007 as one of the UK's first and largest academies. Whilst a building does not make a school, it is worth noting that Thomas Deacon Academy was designed by Norman Foster and Partners and in addition to their impressive main academy their beautiful 43-acre campus includes TDA Juniors - a modern, light and purpose-built Key Stage 2 facility - and expansive playing fields and sporting facilities.
In September 2018, a new extension to the existing main building led to new accommodation being created for a sixth form study centre, refectory expansion and staff professional learning centre.
Moving forward, their core purpose for the Academy is: "To ensure that each student acquires the necessary knowledge, skills and character to make a positive contribution to society and 'thrive' as a global citizen."
The Academy's core purpose is supported by their six pillars of character which provide the foundations for the TDA Way. Their character values are Curiosity, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, Confidence and Courtesy.
In September 2019, TDA received a very positive Ofsted report, judging the academy to be Good overall. Ofsted commented favourably, amongst other things, on the overall leadership of the academy, good teaching, positive relationships between staff and students and students' behaviour. The Sixth Form was graded as 'Good' and recognised as a strength of the Academy. These aspects of the academy have been maintained alongside the identified areas for development being addressed.
