Welcome to Hope Sentamu Learning Trust

The long-awaited merger of Hope Learning Trust and the Sentamu Academy Learning Trust has now come to fruition, and brings with it a plethora of opportunities for our pupils, our colleagues and our communities. 

Our aim is to bring the highest standards of education to the young people in our care.

Following the principle of “Starting with the end in sight”, we want to inspire our young people from Early Years through to Post-16 with a vision for how they can become extraordinary citizens – ambitious for themselves, their families and their community, committed to serving others, and fully equipped to carry on learning throughout their lives.

This site explains our background, and sets out how we work as a Trust.

We hope that you find it informative, but please feel free to contact me if you would like any further details.

  • POSITIVE IMPACT
    We meet individual needs by getting to know our children very well as this helps them to thrive and develop. By being able to share some really good practice, see examples of how others work and collaborate with staff throughout the Trust, we’ve seen a really positive impact on children’s education and wellbeing.

    The partnership with Hope Sentamu Learning Trust and, importantly, with Manor Church of England Academy, is significant as it is unique to the vast majority of schools in York.
