Trust Vision and Ethos

The Education and Leadership Trust is a co-operative academy trust in Manchester, UK, which came into existence in September 2014. We are dedicated to promoting the emotional, physical and social well-being of our diverse and multi-cultural population and aspire to be a centre of excellence for the education of young people.

Whalley Range is a large 11-18 High School of 1500 girls located in the heart of inner city Manchester. Levenshulme is a school of 1,000 girls. The East Manchester Academy is a mixed school of 970 students in the heart of Manchester’s regeneration area in Beswick. They serve some of the most deprived wards in Manchester and embrace and celebrate their cultural diversity.

The schools receive their intake from over 75 primary schools from within and beyond Manchester. Whalley Range is the only community school in Manchester offering single sex post 16 provision. Over 90% of Sixth Form students are from ethnic minority backgrounds.

We have a Clear Mission

To educate, inspire and empower young people to be the next generation of leaders.

Values

We will teach resilience so students can achieve outstanding results and thrive in a challenging future.

The co-operative values of cooperation, self-reliance, team work, democracy and ethical approaches to business will inform our trust values. These values and principles will underpin the work of the Trust and we believe will contribute to strengthening the schools’ links with their local communities.

In particular, we are interested in raising standards of achievement through:

  • Working collaboratively with others, including education, business, health and sporting partners, to raise standards and opportunities
  • Having honest and open relationships with all other partners, helping each other to reach common goals
  • Developing a global perspective rooted in the co-operative values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity
  • Upholding the ethical values of integrity, honesty, fairness and responsibility
  • Adopting a mutual stake-holding model where membership will be open to all involved with the school (children, parents / carers, members of the community, partners and staff)
  • Developing further meaningful and sustainable links with the communities served by the Academy Trust
  • Promoting learning and enterprise opportunities to develop concepts of social entrepreneurship locally, regionally and globally
  • Sharing professional development programmes to build professional and social capital
  • Building on positive relationships with parents
  • Raising the aspirations of our students and families through sustainable links with higher educational establishments in order to develop routes to economic well-being
