As proud members of Yorkshire Learning Trust, we are part of a community of schools dedicated
to Excellence in Every Journey.

Born out of the merger of South York Multi Academy Trust and STAR Multi Academy Trust, Yorkshire
Learning Trust (YLT) brings together 17 schools across both primary and secondary phases, a commiLed
team of around 1,000 staff, and approximately 7,000 students to a thriving learning community where they
fully belong and always matter.

Through shared expertise, collaborative working, and a shared belief in the potential of every child, we
work together with our Trust to ensure that all learners feel included, supported, and inspired to achieve
their very best.

Being part of YLT strengthens our commitment to aspiration, inclusion, collaboration,
and integrity. These values shape everything we do, allowing us to retain our unique identity as a school
community while ensuring cross-Trust collaboration and school improvement goes where they’re needed
most.

Collaboration with YLT is purposeful, respectful, and tailored to the needs of our community at any given
time, ensuring every child receives an ambitious, inclusive, and high-quality education.
All this is geared towards a single aspiration: to ensure all children leave our doors ready for the next stage
of their education and employment.

About our Trust: Yorkshire Learning Trust (YLT)

A very warm welcome to Brayton C of E Primary School and to Yorkshire Learning Trust (YLT).

Yorkshire Learning Trust is a family of schools working together to ensure that every young person has the best possible opportunities to learn, grow and thrive. We are proud to serve diverse communities across Yorkshire, and we are united by a belief in the power of education to change lives.

At YLT, we place belonging, ambition and integrity at the heart of all we do. Our schools are inclusive and aspirational places where young people are known, nurtured and challenged. We want every student to feel proud of who they are, excited by their learning and confident about their future.

We also believe deeply in the strength of collaboration. By working together as a Trust, we are able to support each other, share what works, and tackle challenges collectively. Our schools retain their own identity and character – that’s what makes them special – but they also benefit from being part of something bigger.

Whether you are just starting your journey with Brayton, or are considering us for your family, I know you’ll find a warm and supportive welcome. Thank you for being part of our shared ambition to create schools where young people can truly flourish.

With best wishes for all that lies ahead,

Ian Yapp
Chief Executive Officer – Yorkshire Learning Trust
