We are a charity that inspires the future generation of entrepreneurs, from all backgrounds. Through supporting, funding and developing a range of programmes in partnership with like-minded organisations, the Foundation aims to inspire and equip young people with the skills they need to take control of their futures, create better academic, work and life pathways, experience greater social mobility and lead productive lives.

Sir Rod Aldridge launched the Foundation in 2006 after retiring from Capita Plc, the business he set up and which became one of this country’s most successful companies. Over 10 years we developed a family of sponsored non-selective community academy schools and colleges that have a strong focus on developing entrepreneurial skills and on rapidly improving the quality of education on offer in order to transform the life-chances of young people. In September 2016 we established Aldridge Education as a multi-academy trust which is now responsible for the performance of the schools.

Our vision is that, by creating opportunities and experiences for students and for members of the communities in which we work, those communities will benefit from increased social mobility, increased life chances and increased  economic growth.
