Our Trust
We are delighted to welcome you to the White Rose Academies Trust.
Our Trust comprises a cross-phase group of three secondary schools and one primary school located in the City of Leeds. Each of our schools is a warm, welcoming place to learn, and we are incredibly proud of our inclusive approach to education. At the heart of our work is a simple yet powerful principle: to create a framework in which every child can flourish.
We are committed to providing an exceptional educational experience for all our young people. This is achieved through strong, supportive relationships, an ambitious and inclusive curriculum, and personalised pastoral care.
Our schools are deeply rooted in the communities they serve and are thoughtfully designed to meet their needs. While each school has its own unique identity, all reflect the vibrancy and diversity of our student population.
Collaboration and professional generosity are at the core of our approach. We believe that by working together and sharing best practice, we can deliver highly effective school-to-school support. As an outward-facing organisation, we actively seek opportunities to engage with others across the education sector, learning and evolving to improve our practice.
We are also deeply committed to investing in our teams.
Every professional across the Trust has access to a carefully designed programme of continuing professional development to help them achieve their personal and professional goals. We strive to foster a culture that prioritises staff wellbeing and values stakeholder voice as a key driver of ongoing improvement.
Thank you for your interest in the White Rose Academies Trust.
We look forward to sharing our journey with you.

Ethos
The culture of all White Rose Academies will be based on a ‘can do’ approach. All Academies will encourage self-confidence, pro-active behaviours and responsibility for own actions from all. We will have high values and expectations of everyone, with high aspirations and ambition for students. We will be a ‘Single status’ organisation with shared facilities and will build strong and positive working relationships between students and staff.
Our Academies will be outward facing schools.
They will work closely with local secondary and primary schools/academies and other educational institutions on a national and international basis. They will also develop close links with other training and education providers including local colleges, universities and private training providers. Our Academies will be part of their local community and will develop relationships with community groups and employers. The aim of collaboration in every case will be to raise standards of achievement of students.
Parents and carers will always be welcome in a White Rose Academy.
We believe that changing expectations and aspirations locally will be a key part of why our Academies will raise standards. We will work closely with the Local Authority, EFA and other agencies to enable local communities to access resources and learning in our Academies.
