We believe that strong partnerships are key to long-term growth – not just within our own schools, but across the wider system.

We actively engage in reciprocal collaboration with other trusts and academies, through governance roles, collaborative audits and the mutual sharing of best operational practice, such as in HR and digital infrastructure. By sharing expertise and capacity, we help strengthen provision across the communities we serve.

As a Department for Education-designated English Hub, we support schools regionally with phonics audits, early reading training and bespoke literacy support. Our nationally recognised Fixing Fluency project helps schools close the reading gap and build fluency and comprehension across all stages. Alongside this, Great Heights Research School plays a leading role in mobilising research findings, helping schools embed evidence-informed practice and drive sustainable improvement.

Beyond literacy, we work with other MATs, teaching school hubs and sector partners to deliver impactful leadership development and teacher training. Our AA Teamworks SCITT trains the next generation of teachers in partnership with placement schools across West Yorkshire – many of whom go on to teach and lead within our trust.

We also contribute to cross-sector collaboration through Great Heights Partner Provision, our specialist service delivering high-quality education for pupils who are unable to attend mainstream school due to health or medical needs. The Provision works closely with schools and health professionals to ensure continuity of education and, where possible, support reintegration through flexible, personalised teaching and a strong focus on inclusion.
