As of September 2026, the Elliot Foundation has 37 schools which touch the lives of over 15,000 pupils. At the point of joining, 21 of these schools were sponsored academies, 12 were academy converters, 3 were novated and one is a basic need new school.
Before our schools joined us, most were graded as 'Requires Improvement' or 'Inadequate' by Ofsted. Ofsted have now scrapped single-word Ofsted judgements. In September 2025, 89% of our schools were graded by Ofsted as 'Good' or 'Outstanding'. This rose to 94% when excluding schools that hadn't had an Ofsted visit since they joined our Trust.
Results (2026)
The Trust achieved results similar to the national average for both early year foundation stage (EYFS) good level of development (GLD) and the Department for Education's reading, writing, maths target (RWM Key Stage 2). National comparisons for phonics have not been published at time of writing.

Suspensions and exclusions
As an inclusive trust, we try to avoid suspensions and exclusions where possible and report our suspensions and exclusions data for transparency. During 2025/26, there were 475 suspensions and two children permanently excluded.
