come from black or minority ethnic backgrounds, half are on free school meals and 40% live in
overcrowded households.
At Durand Greg has proved that with a structured approach and good discipline, the negative
association between income and attainment does not have to persist. Children achieve on or above
national average year after year, with more than 50% of children gaining Level 5s in the 2011 maths
SATs.
In September 2010 Durand re-opened its gates as one of the first in the new wave of primary

The London Academies Enterprise Trust (LAET) is the academy sponsor and accountable body to the

Enterprise Trust (AET).
The LAET Board sets the vision and strategy for the three academies established under the Mayor's
Academies Programme and to develop new academy projects in line with the Mayor's vision for the
programme. Each academy has its own local governing body that has responsibility to provide support
and challenge to the Principal, agreeing performance targets and the academies development plans.
The local governing bodies are accountable to the LAET board for ensuring the standards and success
of its academy. The LAET Articles make provision for the Chairs of the governing body to be
represented on the LAET Board.
