About Ethos Academy Trust

Ethos Academy Trust is located within Kirklees, West 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 three academies (Ethos College, Reach Academy and Engage 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 Local Authority.
