United Church Schools Trust
Résumé
The United Church Schools Trust (UCST) is a large education charity in the United Kingdom which owns and operates a group of 12 private schools. The charity is operating under the name United Learning as of 2012.
UCST was founded in 1883 (as the ‘Church Schools Company’) to extend the reach of academic education in Victorian England and to educate young women based on Christian (and particularly Anglican) principles. The majority of its schools are now co-educational. As a group, it is non-denominational and welcomes pupils of all faiths and none to its schools.
In 2002, it established the United Learning Trust (now United Learning) as a fully owned subsidiary to extend UCST’s work and ethos into the state sector through the Academies Programme. Together, UCST schools and ULT academies educate more than 30,000 pupils.
UCST is one of the 100 largest UK charitable organisations. Its central office is based in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. It is governed by a Board of Trustees and an Executive Team.
UCST currently owns and manages 12 independent schools across England:
AKS Lytham
Ashford School
Caterham School
Dunottar School, Reigate
Embley
Greenacre School
Guildford High School
Tranby School
Lincoln Minster School
Rowan Preparatory School
St Ives School for Girls
Surbiton High School
Five schools are boarding and day; seven schools are day only. Five schools are single-sex (girls); nine schools are co-educational. The schools are accredited through the Independent Schools Council (ISC).
The UCST planned to merge King Edward VII and Queen Mary School (KEQMS) with Arnold School in September 2012, to create Arnold KEQMS (now AKS Lytham). A parent group lodged an appeal with HM Courts and Tribunal Service – First Tier Tribunal on Friday 9 December 2011. The appeal was heard on 11 & 12 April 2012 and a decision was released by the tribunal on 17 May 2012 stating that the merger can proceed; however, the lease granted to UCST does not adequately protect the assets of the Lytham Schools and will therefore need to be re-written.
