About Us

The United Learning Trust
Paddington Academy is sponsored by the United Learning Trust (ULT).

ULT was established to create a family of academies that provide outstanding education.  It was formed in 2002 as a subsidiary of the United Church Schools Trust (UCST) which has been running high quality independent schools in the UK for over 125 years.  ULT offers the stability of an organisation with a long term commitment to education in this country and the experience to run successful schools.

ULT is the largest single sponsor of academies in the UK.  Its academies are inclusive and welcoming schools, where students of all faiths, backgrounds and abilities are valued and respected.

Our objective is to bring out the best in everyone, enabling each student to become a balanced, happy and articulate person with the:
• intellectual freedom to be creative
• confidence to initiate
• flexibility to respond to challenge, change and adversity
• compassion to serve others
• spirit to enjoy life
• integrity to be trustworthy
• motivation to have a lifelong love of learning.

Information about all ULT Academies is available from http://www.ult.org.uk/
