Our History
Grace Foundation began in 2003 with a clear vision: to transform young people’s lives through holistic education.
The charity first worked alongside the Grace Academy Trust, sponsoring Ethos Teams in three Grace Academy schools – Solihull, Coventry and Darlaston. In 2019, when those schools transferred into Tove Learning Trust, the Foundation chose to continue its sponsorship and expand the reach of Ethos Teams into new schools and communities.
That decision has shaped the story we’re writing today.
Now, our work impacts over 15,000 students and their families every day as we partner with 15 schools across four Multi-Academy Trusts.
Our core funding comes through the generosity of IM Group, with further support from an increasing number of business partners enabling us to grow our impact and reach more young people and families.

We have seen the tremendous benefit to our pupils and their families through the high-quality work of the Ethos Team provided by Grace Foundation. In particular, when this is embedded in the culture and practice of the school, we see an improvement in the academic achievement of our pupils.
