Strategic Plan 2026–2029
At Place Partnership, we believe that people belong, place matters and purpose lasts. Our Strategic Plan 2026–2029 sets out our vision for the future and provides a clear framework for how we will continue to improve outcomes for pupils, support our colleagues and strengthen the communities we serve.
Serving more than 9,000 pupils across 12 academies in South and West Yorkshire, we are committed to ensuring every academy retains its unique identity while benefiting from the collective strength, expertise and opportunities that come from being part of a collaborative Trust.
Our strategy is built around a simple but powerful belief: by investing in our people, strengthening our places and remaining focused on our purpose, we can create lasting positive impact for current and future generations.
