At Yate Academy we have built our ethos on a strong set of core values which underpin everything that we do. Our aim is to give students at Yate Academy a Better Chance of Success than if they attended any other school in the country.

Ambition, Excellence and Pride run through all aspects of school life.

Ambition

We have a strong desire and determination to achieve success. We believe there are no limits to what can be achieved. We do what it takes for as long as it takes. In other words, we go for it every day!

Excellence

We strive for greatness in everything we set our minds to. We endeavour to do our very best and excel in all aspects of school life.

Pride

We are ‘fiercely’ proud of ourselves, our school, our community and our Trust. We hold our heads high and feel a sense of togetherness and joy in our school.

Yate Academy is very happy to be part of the Greenshaw family.

The Greenshaw Learning Trust is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, with the sole purpose of maintaining and developing academy schools to provide comprehensive and inclusive education for the public benefit. Its schools are publicly funded by the Department for Education.  The Trust has a record of working with a great many primary, secondary and special schools, locally and across the country, providing practical support to staff and students and delivering interventions to raise standards of teaching and learning and enable them to achieve their ambitions

The Greenshaw Learning Trust provides an effective structure to ensure schools achieve real benefits from school-to-school collaboration and receive the support they need.  Our culture of trust and openness fosters mutual support and continual improvement.  

Each school in the Trust is led by its own leadership team and local governing body, who have the backing of the Trust to help them achieve their objectives for their school.
