About the Trust

We are a mixed community of alternative provisions and special schools, operating across three local authorities within West and South Yorkshire. Our work extends beyond our academies to add value to the wider system through the offer of wide-ranging support to other schools and wider services.

We celebrate and support the uniqueness of our schools in meeting the needs of their local communities. Our nurturing ethos, underpinned by our clear mission, vision and core values, enables our pupils, their families and our staff teams to thrive.

Ethos Academy Trust comprises five Alternative Provision Academies and a Specialist SEMH Free school as follows:

Engage Academy (Key Stage 1 & 2) – Kirklees

Reach Academy (Key Stage 3) – Kirklees

Ethos College (Key Stage 4) – Kirklees

Evolve Academy (Key Stage 2 & 3) – Wakefield

Enrich Academy (Key Stage 4) – Wakefield

Elements Academy (Key Stage 2-4) Special SEMH Free School – Rotherham

Collectively, we provide wide-ranging support and educational opportunities for pupils with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Trust staff work in partnership with schools, parents / carers and other professionals to support and promote the educational and social inclusion of pupils.

Our vision at Ethos Academy Trust is to create nurturing inclusive learning communities.

To enable us to achieve this, our mission is that Ethos Academy Trust will draw upon the expertise of our specialist staff and wider partners to provide timely, personalised support, intervention and provision in order to maximise the life chances of all children and young people, informed by a thorough understanding of their strengths and needs.

Underpinning our mission and vision are our core values. which permeate our ideology, conversations and practice across our teams.
