The Trust is made up of a richly diverse group of schools in Greater Manchester and Blackpool.  We are passionate about working together within and beyond the Trust to achieve our aspirational vision: the best for everyone, the best from everyone. We are an organisation that is underpinned by values of: Leadership, Integrity, Passion, Community, Equality and Resilience. In everything we do, we remember that we are accountable to the children, families and communities that we serve.

Melland High School is an outstanding school which meets the diverse special educational needs of students aged between 11 and 19 years of age. It is co-located with Cedar Mount Academy in Gorton Education Village.

Melland is a specialist support school for central and east Manchester high schools, a National Support School and leads on SEND provision across the twelve academies within Bright Futures.

As a high achieving inclusive learning environment, the school is proud to uphold the values of passion, community and integrity.

Melland’s bespoke curriculum is appropriately broad and balanced, has spiritual, moral, social and cultural development at its heart and actively supports all students as they prepare for adulthood.
