Great Heights Academy Trust began its journey as The Greetland Academy, a highly successful primary school in Calderdale, West Yorkshire. Recognised for its strong leadership, outstanding teaching and consistently high pupil outcomes, Greetland became a beacon of excellence within the region. With a deep commitment to collaboration, school improvement and sharing best practice, the school took its first steps towards supporting others by sponsoring schools in need of improvement.
What began as a small partnership of like-minded schools has grown into a thriving, values-led Trust comprising six primary schools, one junior school and two secondary schools, including a sixth-form. From early years through to post-16, we are building a cohesive 2-18 learning journey that supports pupils at every stage of their development – academically, socially, and emotionally.
We believe that sustained improvement happens when professionals work together with openness and purpose. Across our schools, leaders, teachers and support staff engage in meaningful collaboration – sharing best practice, developing talent, and continually raising expectations. This collective approach ensures that every child, in every classroom, receives the high-quality education they deserve.
In addition to our family of schools, we hold several national designations that reflect our commitment to sector-wide improvement:
From school improvement to system leadership, we are proud of the impact we’ve made – and excited about the future we are building together.
