Manor CE Academy was one of the first schools in York to take advantage of its Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ rating to successfully apply for academy status, in April 2011. On 1 April 2015, Manor joined forces with Poppleton Ousebank Primary School to create Hope Learning Trust, the city’s first multi-academy trust to comprise a York primary school and York secondary school.
Hope Sentamu Learning Trust is a company limited by guarantee and is the legal entity for Manor CE Academy to carry out its educational purposes. This company is registered with Companies House and holds exempt charitable status with the Department for Education.
