The United Church Schools Trust (UCST) is a leading education charity which currently operates a family of 11 independent schools across the UK. Founded in 1883, UCST offers the stability of an organisation with a long-term commitment to education and the experience to run successful schools.
Our subsidiary charity the United Learning Trust (ULT) was established in 2002 to extend UCST's work and ethos into the state sector through the Academies Programme. ULT is the largest single sponsor of academies in the UK. Our 21 academies and one City Technology College are inclusive and welcoming schools, where students of all faiths, backgrounds and abilities are valued and respected.
As members of the UCST/ULT family, our schools and academies share the objective of bringing out 'the best in everyone'.
Our family: embracing the private and public sectors
Together, our family of schools and academies provides an outstanding education for more than 30,000 pupils. We have over 4,500 members of staff, including more than 2,000 teachers.
