About Ethos Academy Trust

Ethos Academy Trust is located within Kirklees and Wakefield, West Yorkshire and Rotherham, South Yorkshire. The overarching aim of the Trust is to create academies that provide environments that are welcoming, caring, calm, safe and purposeful and that, within a nurturing ethos, stretch our learners academically, support them pastorally and develop them socially and emotionally.

We seek to explore and celebrate the qualities that make our pupils unique. We believe passionately that education, at every stage of the pupil journey, is about the development and nurture of the whole child. We aspire for all our pupils to become confident, happy and caring individuals who achieve personal success and develop a love of learning and of life.

In addition to our five academies (Ethos College, Reach Academy, Engage Academy, Evolve Academy and Elements Academy), the Trust provides wide-ranging early intervention outreach support and training to mainstream schools, alongside managing the statutory exclusions process on behalf of Kirklees and Wakefield Local Authorities.
