Our Strategic Plan​: 2025-2030

The formation of Yorkshire Learning Trust is more than a merger.

It’s a powerful inflection point, marking the beginning of something bold, collaborative and values-driven.

Our first strategic plan sets out a confident, inclusive vision for the next five years: one where high expectations and deep relationships go hand in hand.

In Year One, we’re not simply consolidating — we’re building momentum. We’re doing the basics brilliantly while investing in people, systems and partnerships that will shape the future. We’re designing for long-term impact, with inclusion and aspiration at the heart of our work.

Our strategic aims

Our plan is built around four strategic aims:

Consolidate and stabilise

Embed shared systems, governance and culture to form a strong, sustainable Trust.

Strengthen educational excellence

Ensure consistently high outcomes and equitable experiences for every learner.

Develop a thriving people strategy

Recruit, retain and grow brilliant staff in every school and every role.

Embed a culture of belonging and inclusion

Create communities where everyone feels seen, supported and empowered to succeed.

Together, we are connecting communities and shaping futures… and we’re just getting started.
