The Priory Federation of Academies

The Priory Federation of Academies Trust is a non-profit charitable trust and the governing body for seven academy schools in Lincolnshire, England. The schools are directly funded by the Department for Education and are independent of the local authority. The schools currently within the federation are The Priory Academy LSST- the lead academy of the federation,The Priory Witham Academy, Priory City of Lincoln Academy, The Priory Ruskin Academy and, from September 2017, The Priory Pembroke Academy, The Priory Belvoir Academy (formerly Belvoir High School) and Ling Moor Primary School.

The trust was formed in 2008 with the stated aims of "raising educational standards and improving the life chances of students in the Lincolnshire area." The Federation is run by, and is accountable to, a board of trustees including the headteachers of all the schools, a Chairman and other individuals from relevant local and national organizations. The federation currently has around 4800 students.

Opened in 2009, the Centre des Étoiles (translated from French as the 'Centre of Stars', taken from the Federation logo and motto) is an activity centre in Lower Normandy, France, close to the town of Bayeux. The centre, owned by the Federation, not the school itself, was bought at an initial purchase price of £400,000 and underwent a three-year £1,400,000 development programme.

All schools within the federation sends new Year 7 pupils to the centre. The Priory Academy LSST also uses the centre for its Year 8 Dual Linguist pupils, a year 9 History trip to the battlefields and war graves of northern France, Combined Cadet Force and A Level French pupils. The school uses it as part of their Sixth Form Induction Programme and both The Priory City of Lincoln Academy and The Priory Witham Academy uses the centre as part of its intervention programme. The centre has also been used for a range of Federation Conferences including: the Oxbridge Conference, the Lincolnshire Leadership Conference and the University Guide for First Generation Students Conference. The Priory Lions squad has used the centre as a training camp. The Federation's CCF has used it as part of their development programme. The Academies' History departments worked on a rewrite of the History National Curriclum at the centre and staff have used the centre as a base for their ECDL training.
