Hope Sentamu Learning Trust

Manor CE Academy is part of the Hope Sentamu Learning Trust.

A Church of England Trust, Hope Sentamu brings together church and community schools with a shared vision that all pupils should not only receive an outstanding education, but that they should also have the opportunity to experience life in all its fullness.

The Hope Sentamu Learning Trust (HSLT) was formed on 1 September 2021 following the merger of the Hope Sentamu Learning Trust and the Sentamu Academy Learning Trust, Hull. It comprises six secondary, seven primary and two alternative provision academies across York, Hull and North Yorkshire.

The Trust’s values, Respect, Teamwork and Kindness, underpin the vision ‘Life in all its fullness – a place to thrive’ and are central to all Trust activities and aims.

There is a clear commitment to ensure the flourishing of students and providing opportunities for staff to develop their own career pathways, alongside the provision of high-quality education and resources.

Prior to the merger, colleagues across Hope and Sentamu worked collaboratively for a period of almost two years and as this new partnership develops, the newly merged Trust will offer many benefits:

• enhanced levels of continuous school improvement;
• cross-fertilisation of best practice and improved opportunities for mutual support;
• improved value for money within the resources available;
• enhanced central functions; and
• the ability to grow further.

At Hope Sentamu, we want to inspire our young people from an early age with a vision of 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.
