Tadcaster Grammar School is proud to be part of the Yorkshire Learning Trust (YLT)
Formed through the merger of STAR Multi Academy Trust and South York Multi Academy Trust, YLT builds on a proud legacy of collaboration and excellence across North Yorkshire and York. Our Trust is shaped by the strengths and stories of our founding schools – and inspired by the belief that together, we can achieve more for every learner.
At Yorkshire Learning Trust, we are committed to creating exceptional journeys for every child and young person, wherever they begin. We champion aspiration, inclusion and integrity, fostering strong partnerships across our 17 schools so that pupils and staff alike flourish in an environment of shared support and high expectations.
We are now a Trust of:
- 14 primary schools
- 3 secondary schools
- 7,000 students
- 1,000 staff
We are a highly collegiate organisation, proud to be based within our local area communities and therefore we describe ourselves as a Community Trust. With this, we recognise the responsibility to work with all local partners to deliver the very best possible outcomes, and future aspirations, for young people – and, to provide places where pupils develop and thrive academically, socially, culturally and spiritually in the safest possible environments.
Whilst we work closely together in partnership, every school in the YLT has its own unique identity, vision and values which run alongside those of the Trust. This is an important defining principle of our the YLT – all schools are unique within a defined framework where everyone understands their roles and responsibilities, and, works to our common vision, aims and values through our collegiate approach.

On 1st September 2025, South York MAT and STAR MAT merged to create YLT (Yorkshire Learning Trust). As a newly merged Trust, we are committed to providing a stable and clear policy framework. To ensure continuity and maintain operational effectiveness during this transitional period, in some instances we are operating under a combination of existing policies carried forward from our previous organisations. These policies remain in effect until they are formally reviewed and adopted by YLT. We are working diligently to harmonise our practices and will be confirming a new set of unified Trust policies over the coming months. We appreciate your patience and will publish all updates regarding new and ratified policies promptly.
