About Learning Accord Multi Academy Trust

The Learning Accord Multi Academy Trust is an inclusive trust which welcomes church and community schools and celebrates diversity and distinctive context.
We recognise that for our learners, life chances are formed throughout their primary education. Our responsibility is to celebrate each child’s talents and build upon each child’s experiences to ensure that they make the progress that they deserve. Our aim is that all will flourish and achieve the highest standards.
The Board of Trustees of the Learning Accord MAT is committed to ensuring a high performing multi academy trust that delivers the very best educational experience for pupils at all of our academies. The Trust aims to respond to the changing educational landscape as more and more schools convert to academy status.
The core purpose of the Trust is to maintain good and outstanding schools and ensure the rapid improvement of schools which need support to become good or outstanding. The Trust will act as the sponsor for any Church school within the Anglican Diocese of Leeds, or local community school who wishes to become an academy. Similarly, the Trust will welcome Church or community schools which are being directed to become sponsored academies by the Department of Education.
