We are a small Academy Trust in West Yorkshire currently
made up of one primary academy, Wainstalls School.
i-Trust Education is state-funded and the Trust is directly accountable to the
Education Standards Funding Agency and the Department for Education. The Trust
has a Board of Trustees that oversees and monitors the performance of the
academy.
Wainstalls School converted to become an Academy in September 2013 as part of
the Whitehill Multi-Academy Trust. Whitehill Community Academy MAT changed its
name to i-Trust Education on the 6th September 2017 and Whitehill Community
Academy joined Trinity MAT on 1st January 2024.
Our Trust has a vision to continue to maintain its high academic standards and
develop community cohesion for families in any of the learning communities that
we are privileged to work with both now and into the future.
i-Trust Education works closely and creatively with our partners, aiming to
ensure that all partner academies achieve a good or outstanding Ofsted
judgement. We recognise that when adding new academies into the Trust we need
to be sensitive in our approach, with a keen focus on listening in the first instance.
We are confident that a high level of trust can be established very quickly and
that we can build upon the positive momentum already in evidence within our
learning trust.
We are keen that each academy maintains its own special and unique identity for
the community that they serve. By working together, we strive to create academies
that children, parents and staff are proud to be a part of.
We embrace partnership working and school-to-school support and have relished
the new freedoms to innovate that the Education Act 2011 has opened up
regarding the new school led system. We are keen to share our learning and
learn from others in this regard so that we can achieve greater things
together.
