Landau Forte Academy, Amington which has both an 11 – 16 Centre and a separate Post 16 Centre (which serves the whole of the town) along with Landau Forte College, Derby are members of the family of schools operated by Landau Forte Charitable Trust. This is an educational charitable trust founded by Martin Landau and the Forte family almost twenty years ago. By 2012 the Trust will be educating almost 3000 students across its Academies.

The Trust expects each of the Academies to provide a Landau Forte style of education which is distinctive, high quality and critically releases the potential of each of student enabling them both individually and collectively to be the best that they can be. Whilst the Academies each have their individual specialisms the common expectation of high standards of learning, teaching, attainment & achievement and student care are common.

It is intended each Academy serves the wider community providing opportunities for adult education and use of facilities for teams, clubs, societies and community groups.
