About University Schools Trust
Achieving Excellence through Transformational Education that Empowers Communities.
UST is a partnership of schools, universities, and public and private sector bodies. We are uniquely placed to change the educational landscape for the pupils, staff, parents and wider communities whom we serve.
A key strength of the Trust is its Trustees, appointed from our world leading and internationally renowned University Partners, and from key organisations in both the charitable and statutory sectors.

Our overriding purpose as a Multi-Academy Trust is driven by our vision and values.
Vision: Where collaboration breeds transformation
Guided by and working with our Trust Partners:
