Yorkshire Learning Trust Merger
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.
YLT policies apply to all schools in our Trust. STAR MAT policies apply to the following schools: Appleton Roebuck Primary, Brayton CE Primary, Kellington Primary, Kirk Fenton CE Primary, Monk Fryston CE Primary, Riverside Primary, Saxton CE Primary, Sherburn High, Sherburn Hungate Primary, South Milford Primary, and Tadcaster Grammar. SYMAT policies appky to the following schools: Archbishop of York’s CE Junior, Bishopthorpe Infant, Dunnington CE Primary, Escrick CE Primary, Fulford, and Wheldrake with Thorganby CE Primary.
