About Hope Sentamu Learning Trust
- Type
- Multi-academy trust
Thank you for showing an interest in joining our community of schools at Hope Sentamu Learning Trust.
Our vision is really very simple. We aspire to provide a place children and young people can thrive - life in all its fullness, a place to thrive. Our values are Kindness, Respect and Teamwork.
Here are our commitments:
A respectful and inclusive community, with a culture of thankfulness and appreciation, where we celebrate equality and diversity.
High quality first teaching across all of our schools, in every learning session, without exception.
A broad and balanced educational offer which develops all pupils academically, practically, emotionally, socially and spiritually, leading to great outcomes.
Resilient, sustainable and ethical leadership at all levels of the organisation.
Our Trust comprises of primary and secondary schools as well as alternative provisions. We are a community of fourteen schools, located across York, Hull and North Yorkshire. Our schools are supported by a central operations team and a central school improvement team.
Each one of our schools has its own distinctive character, identity and strengths which it brings to the table so that we all benefit from each other. Collaboration is at the heart of the way that we work across the Trust as every school has something to give and every school needs some help. This resonates with our Trust vision and values.
We are a new Trust, following a recent merger between Hope Learning Trust and Sentamu Academy Learning Trust in September 2021, so this is a very exciting time in our development. I am a big believer in building strong foundations so that we can concentrate on providing the best possible experiences and provision for the children and young people. It makes sense for us to do some things consistently so that we can do the basics really well. Colleagues from across the Trust have the opportunity to get involved in the development of Trust strategy so that our consistent ways of working and areas that we have alignment are developed at grass roots level. We see the alignment of key strategies across the Trust as an ever growing strength and way forward. This approach will get stronger and stronger as we develop and provides excellent career development opportunities for colleagues in all roles at all levels. Our school leaders play an important role in promoting a positive and collaborative culture across the Trust whilst delivering on the key Trust strategies within their schools.
