About The People’s Learning Trust

The People’s Learning Trust is proud to be part of the Everton Family. Inspired by the values of Everton Football Club, our approach to education places people at the heart of everything we do. Together, we are creating a powerful learning community where all learners can thrive.

Our Trust was shaped from the outset by collaboration, with our Founder Schools – Everton Free School and Football College, Waterside Academy, Oldfield Primary School, Meadow Primary School, and Bidston Avenue Primary School – playing a vital role in defining our shared values and strategic direction. We are proud to be growing, with The Bridge Short Stay School set to join us soon and a number of schools currently exploring partnership through a careful, values-led due diligence process.

While each academy retains its own identity, all benefit from being part of a wider community grounded in trust, inclusion, and a deep sense of shared purpose. Across the Liverpool City Region and beyond, we champion diversity, celebrate individuality, and encourage our learners to see themselves as global citizens who can make a difference.

At The People’s Learning Trust, we believe our people are our greatest strength. We are committed to recruiting, developing, and retaining exceptional leaders, teachers, and support staff. We invest in continuous professional growth, share best practice across the Trust and the wider sector, and create an environment where innovation and creativity flourish.

We strive to be an organisation where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered. Equality, inclusion, and wellbeing are central to our culture – a culture where staff thrive and where the school leaders of tomorrow are nurtured.

We are confident that every student can achieve their greatest ambitions. Our academies play a crucial role in shaping their life prospects, and we believe that fostering leadership and autonomy is the best way to prepare our learners for the future.
